The University of Houston is over 80 years old, having become part of the state institution system almost 50 years ago. The school offers its students over 300 majors from which to choose, as well as the opportunity to study online. Interactive television courses, which are generally shown on one campus and sent through electronic means to others, are offered. Courses are also taught at numerous off-campus centers, online, or via the hybrid method: partial instruction in class and the other half online. Students may complete a bachelor's or master's degree, as well as earn various certificates. Core undergraduate courses by degree seekers must often be taken elsewhere. The university is known for its far-reaching online program, as more than 10,000 students study each year, making it the largest in the state. The application process is the same as for the general program, as is the cost.
