Houston,
Texas
Texas Southern
University is situated in the heart of America's fourth-largest
city, Houston, a vast, teeming metropolis characterized by a diverse
population, a vibrant business climate, an outstanding performing
and visual arts community and an almost unparalleled quality of
life. While maintaining its position as the world's energy capital,
in recent years Houston has experienced a transformation into
a global center for many other industries, including computers,
aerospace, petrochemical, electronics, manufacturing and software
development.
The University, located
near the heart of downtown Houston, was founded as a Public, co-educational,
historically Black University. The campus facilities have grown
from one permanent building and several temporary structures in
1947 to 45 buildings on a campus that sits on 150 acres of Land.
Though its beginnings
were humble, Texas Southern University is heralded as a pioneer,
and distinguishes itself as one of the leading producers of African
American scholars that obtain collegiate, professional, and graduate
degrees in the state, as well as the nation. The University's
enrollment has grown from 2,303 students to more than 9,700 undergraduate
and graduate students from across the world. Although the University
was initially established to educate African Americans, it has
become one of the most ethnically diverse institutions in Texas.
