Houston Christian University (HCU) and the Blinn College District have announced a new transfer partnership that will provide Blinn students with clear, affordable pathways to bachelor’s degrees in cyber engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science from HCU.

Through the transfer and co-enrollment agreement, Blinn electrical engineering students can apply their credits toward a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering or a Bachelor of Science in Cyber Engineering from HCU, and Blinn computer science students can apply their credits toward a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from HCU.

HCU President Robert Sloan said, “Blinn has a great history and is an outstanding institution.”

He added that they are honored to enter into the enrollment agreement and are confident it will benefit students and programs in both institutions.

Blinn College District Chancellor Dr. Mary Hensley said that this collaboration marks a significant opportunity for their students, and opens exciting new degree pathways for the next generation of engineers and innovators.

As part of this agreement, HCU will waive the application fees for Blinn students and employees and will provide an HCU Transfer Merit Award Scholarship for qualifying undergraduate students or a 33% tuition discount for transfers admitted with at least a 2.0 GPA, whichever is greater.

Phi Theta Kappa honors society students in good standing will receive an additional $3,000 scholarship per year.

Students who enroll in an online degree program at HCU will have their application fee waived and will receive a 15% tuition discount.
