Located in Houston’s Third Ward, a historically African American neighborhood with a rich cultural legacy, Texas Southern University is a sprawling public institution. One of the nation's largest HBCUs, it offers more than 100 degrees and concentrations (across ten schools) to its enrollees, and features a “Weekend College” for working students who have a large number of college credits earned and want to complete their degree. There are numerous avenues for students wishing to conduct research; the TSU Science Center houses several scholastic and research programs, including the Houston Louis Stokes Alliance Minority Program (which works to create diversity in STEM fields) and the NASA University Research Center for Bio-Nanotechnology and Environmental Research, and there are separate centers for Excellence in Urban Education, Transportation Training and Research, and Justice Research. All students must complete the Texas Common Core Curriculum requirements in order to graduate, and the Tiger Writing Lab is available to assist students across all disciplines.
