History

In the 1960s, the citizens of the Victoria area realized that greater opportunities were needed in higher education. No institution within a hundred-mile radius offered baccalaureate and master's degrees.

Many junior college students and graduates in the region wanted to continue studying beyond an associate degree, and a growing number of people who had bachelor's degrees were anxious to pursue master's degrees.

To meet those needs, UHV opened in 1973.
