Our historic Fall enrollment of more than 40,000 students is a significant milestone. While it’s definitely something our teams can be proud of, our mission extends beyond simply enrolling a lot of students. Their success is at the heart of everything we do here. Our mission is to serve the growing population of Texas. Our strategic enrollment plan is making it possible for more qualified Texans to earn a life-changing college degree.
