Why Transfer to UHD?
“Before earning my associate's degree in Criminal Justice from Wharton County Junior College, I knew I wanted to continue my educational journey. Once I attended the UHD Open House, I immediately knew that UHD was the university for me!”
Bryanna Allison (’27, B.S., Criminal Justice)

Where First-Gen Students Thrive
“UHD provided support when I couldn't find a sense of direction. As a First-Generation student, I felt the pressure of transitioning from high school to college on my own. UHD's Summer Bridge Program made all the difference. I had the confidence to start my fall semester strong!”
Emily Raygoza (’29, Criminal Justice)
