University Of Houston-Victoria

UHV The University of Houston-Victoria shares with all institutions of higher education the universal mission of teaching, research, and service. It shares with the other institutions of the University of Houston System a special responsibility to serve educational needs, to promote economic well being, and to advance the quality of life in the region. The university's most distinctive commitment is to make higher education accessible to able students who might otherwise lack the opportunity. Its most compelling commitment is to make the quality of education they receive nonetheless competitive. The university emphasizes student learning, related research, responsiveness to student needs, and collaboration in the development and delivery of academic programs. Outreach has characterized its mission and history. In reaching out to students online and on site in multiple communities, the University of Houston-Victoria is evolving beyond location. But though its identity may have changed, its basic mission remains the same: to provide able students, often with job and family obligations, convenient access to higher education that is affordable, credible, and relevant to their lives, their communities, and their world.
