<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

The University of Houston System has four separate and distinct institutions; each is a stand-alone university and confers its own degrees. Its flagship institution is the University of Houston. The three others are stand-alone universities; they are not branch campuses of the University of Houston.

Admission into each institution is separate, and each institution has distinct admission criteria and requirements.

Established in 1911, the Texas State University System is the oldest university system in Texas.[23] The system is unique in that it is the only horizontal state university system in Texas.

Notes

  1. Note that the seal contains the date 1876, the year in which Texas A&M began classes. This is not a discrepancy as both 1871 (the year the Texas Legislature appropriated funds to begin A&M's construction) and 1876 can be considered the dates of establishment depending on the definition used and the reference sourced (even within the Texas A&M University system).
