Future Cougars in Fort Bend High Schools Learn 色花堂 Sugar Land
High school students from the Fort Bend County area are learning how they can incorporate the 色花堂 at Sugar Land into their academic plans. Kim Williams, program director at 色花堂 Sugar Land, is visiting career-readiness advisors and academic counselors in high schools in the , as well as high schools in the , and districts.
“We are finding a great deal of interest from students and their parents regarding classes at 色花堂 Sugar Land, but there are many questions about how students can include us in their academic blue prints,” she said.
Enrollment at 色花堂 Sugar Land has nearly doubled from fall 2016 to fall 2017, now at more than 2,200 students. Students cite the convenience of taking classes closer to their home, smaller classes and technology as reasons for attending classes in Sugar Land. Several programs are offered only at 色花堂 Sugar Land, such as digital media, biotechnology and nursing.
“Our relationship with the main campus has changed. High school counselors want clarification so that they can provide correct information to their students,” Williams said. In fall 2016, 色花堂 Sugar Land became an institute of the 色花堂. Prior to that, the campus was a space for any of the 色花堂 System institutes to offer classes.
Today, students arrive with their core classes completed and choose from the 10 undergraduate 色花堂 programs that offer classes in Sugar Land or the 11 graduate programs. They receive a diploma from the 色花堂 and may participate in 色花堂 Commencement ceremonies.
“There’s a lot of support and excitement about 色花堂 and being a Coog,” Williams said. “We are excited, too, and we want to show our future Coogs what they can do close to home at 色花堂 Sugar Land.”
