The University of Houston System (UHS) is Texas’ only metropolitan higher education system, encompassing four universities and two multi-institution teaching centers. The universities are the University of Houston, a nationally recognized doctoral degree-granting, comprehensive research university; the University of Houston-Downtown, a four-year undergraduate university beginning expansion into graduate programs; and the University of Houston-Clear Lake and the University of Houston-Victoria, both upper division and master’s-level institutions. The teaching centers are the UH System at Sugar Land in Fort Bend and the UH System at Cinco Ranch. In addition, the UH System includes KUHF-FM, Houston’s National Public Radio and classical music station, and KUHT-TV, the nation’s first educational television station. As a state institution, UHS is governed by a nine-member Board of Regents appointed by the Texas governor with the approval of the Texas Senate. In the Fall 2002 semester, the combined total student enrollment at the four UHS universities was 54, 908. About the University of Houston System Universities
