Texas Southern University News July 14, 2010 TSU's Northwest Campus Set to Open Fall 2010 Texas Southern University is expanding its boarders to Houston's Northwest side starting fall 2010. Northwest Houston has grown greatly over the past decade boasting a vibrant and diverse population. Until recently, there were no comprehensive higher education offerings in that region. Starting fall 2010, Texas Southern University will offer seven degree programs for the first time to residents of Northwest Houston at the new University Park campus. TSU will offer undergraduate, junior and senior level courses in the following areas: * Administration of Justice * Aviation Science and Technology * Computer Engineering Technology * Electronic Engineering Technology * Radio, Television and Film * Environmental Health * Management Information Systems The new facility, located at State Highway 249 and Louetta Road, is a result of TSU's partnership with Lone Star College, the University of Houston System, Texas State University, and Sam Houston State University to provide full baccalaureate and graduate degree programs in the Northwest Houston area. Lone Star College will offer freshman and sophomore courses at the campus, while TSU and the other partner universities will offer junior and senior courses.
