The new facility focuses on specialized career paths in Radiologic Technology and Surgical Technology. These fields are currently experiencing significant labor pressure; while national employment for radiologic technicians is projected to grow by 9%, the Texas market is seeing a 19% increase in demand. Students will utilize on-site labs designed to mirror clinical environments, with enrollment already underway for September classes.
Pamela Fable, director of campus operations, noted that the local healthcare system is struggling to fill its professional pipeline, a gap the university intends to bridge. The curriculum combines online coursework with hands-on clinical training at regional facilities, a model designed to accommodate students with diverse scheduling needs. With graduates in these fields earning an average of $79,760 annually, the university aims to provide a rapid, viable entry point into the state's workforce.
