Where Can You Take Your Courses?

THEA (formerly TASP)Test Requirements
Passing scores by the current standards on the THEA Test (Texas Academic Skills Program) must be on file before enrolling in coursework. Passing scores on the TASP test are still acceptable. Passing scores are currently: Reading - 230, Math - 230 and Writing – 220. Passing scores are required before one may take ANY Education classes.

Post baccalaureate undergraduate students should contact the Office of Admissions (713) 525-3500 and graduate students should contact the School of Education (713) 525-3540. Please plan to do this early so that you may be admitted to the University in time to register for classes you wish to take.
