“I’m from a small school, so I love the one-on-one teaching that goes on at the university,” she said. “UHV also is very affordable.”

Herrera expressed her excitement about being part of the FIRST 200.

“We can make our traditions and create new organizations,” she said.

Herrera plans to earn her bachelor’s degree in forensic science as a first step to eventually earning her doctorate.

The University of Houston-Victoria, located in the heart of the Coastal Bend region, offers courses leading to more than 65 bachelor’s and master’s degree programs and concentrations in the schools of Arts & Sciences, Business Administration, Education & Human Development, and Nursing. UHV provides face-to-face classes at its Victoria campus as well as teaching sites in Fort Bend and Harris counties, and online classes that students can take from anywhere. Since its founding in 1973, UHV has provided students with a quality university education from excellent faculty at an affordable price.
