  • MSA Visits the University of Houston

    Our MSA students had an amazing day at the University of Houston! They visited the Cullen College of Engineering, where they learned about the various programs, toured the campus, and heard directly from a robotics researcher.

    Next, they explored the programs offered by the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. It was an exciting opportunity to glimpse the many possibilities that await our future scholars!
