View Full Welcome Message from Dr. Maynard
UH-Clear Lake has a unique history that continues to inform our path forward. Situated in a nature preserve adjacent to NASA Johnson Space Center, UHCL was created to meet a vital demand for trained engineers, physicists, and mathematicians to join the U.S. space program. Today, UHCL has developed into a vibrant and growing campus with signature programs now also offered in locations at Pearland and at the Texas Medical Center. UHCL is nationally ranked and regionally-focused, offering more than 70 undergraduate degree programs and more than 50 graduate degree programs.
What all of that means is that we have a lot to offer, including a high-quality educational environment that is learner-focused! Our outstanding faculty are actively engaged in research that allows our students opportunities through experiential learning and a hands-on process of discovery.
I am confident that the robust and inclusive university environment at UHCL offers an educational experience that will not only transform the lives of our students but also the trajectory of families and our community.
