THE UNIVERSITY CENTER
Sam Houston State University in conjunction with five universities and the North Harris Montgomery Community College District formed The University Center, a multiinstitutional teaching center, to provide unduplicated bachelor’s and master’s degree programs to the north Houston, north Harris County and Montgomery County service area. Courses completed as part of these programs carry residence credit.
The University Center serves as the site for multi-level instruction in a classroom/laboratory facility of approximately 72,000 square feet adjacent to the Montgomery College campus providing an interactive, technology-based extension that connects all of the colleges of NHMCCD and the partner universities. The goal is to provide a facility and an interconnected telecommunications system for delivery of unduplicated baccalaureate, master’s, and doctoral degree programs, advanced work training, and professional development at the same quality level as the university home-base of the programs.
Sam Houston State University has approval from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to offer various degree programs at The University Center.
