BY SHAHERYAR KHAN The University of Houston-Clear Lake will expand into the Texas Medical Center, fostering academic collaborations and innovation in health care, accord- ing to a news release. The new facility will be home to the Healthcare Administration program, which prepares students to become health care administrators, managers and executives. UHCL will lease the space from Texas Children’s Hospital and will occupy the 14th oor. “This strategic move will foster increased collab- oration, internship and networking opportunities, providing our students with an unparalleled educa- tional experience,” UHCL President Richard Walker said in the release. This location positions students and faculty in the university’s Healthcare Administration program at the “center of a global leader in medical research and innovation,” according to the news release. “The motivating factor to expand into the Texas Medical Center was the program’s success in placing students in internships and job opportunities,” College of Business Dean Edward Waller told Community Impact . “The location in TMC will help
students make connections, pursue internships and attend classes without commuting across the city.” The move to the new facility will provide state-of-the-art technology and modern amenities, including new classrooms, o ce spaces and inter- active areas for students, Waller said. The presence of advising sta on-site will further support student success, he said. UHCL o cials aim to admit employees with applied science degrees directly into bachelor’s programs tailored to their workforce credits. “One thing that’s on our mind is we might be able to help establish a better pipeline to service [UHCL students’] needs,” Waller said. Waller said he considers the Healthcare Admin- istration program a prominent one in the college. With increased visibility, it is expected to gain more recognition and be observed for its quality, contribut- ing to its overall success in various aspects, he said. “In terms of the overall growth and reputation of [UHCL], the expansion into TMC and the enhanced visibility it provides for the Healthcare Administra- tion program is expected to contribute to increased recognition and success,” Waller said. “I’m excited for
