Our vision
University College strives to maintain a scholarly community and a diverse membership of freshmen students.

Shared and personal learning experiences help to contribute to a rewarding residential experience.
Message from the Director
Welcome to University College (UC). UC is a freshman neighborhood that was established to provide you with a living and learning community that will support your academic success and transition into higher education. The UC staff and faculty are here to assist you through the critical first steps in your college journey. However, your ultimate success in college will be determined by your individual motivation and your personal efforts. We will offer you many opportunities in University College, but you must choose to participate in the advisement program, academic enhancement classes, co-curricular activities and other support services. We look forward to your arrival at Prairie View A & M University and University College.
“We don’t want you to just enroll at PVAMU, we want you to succeed!”
