THE UNIVERSITY CENTER

Six universities and North Harris Montgomery Community College District formed a multi-institutional teaching center to provide unduplicated bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees to a service area, specifically north Houston, north Harris County, and Montgomery County. The University Center provides a critical link for community development and individual opportunity to an estimated 1.2 million citizens.

Sam Houston State University is joined by Prairie View A&M University, Texas A&M University, Texas Southern University, University of Houston, and University of Houston- Downtown as well as the colleges of NHMCCD: Cy-Fair College, Kingwood College, Montgomery College, North Harris College, and Tomball College.

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.
