International Student Medical Insurance

University of Houston Clear Lake International Student Insurance

The University of Houston–Clear Lake (UHCL), whose campus spans across Pasadena and Houston, Texas, was established in 1971. It was founded as the second institution of the University of Houston system in response to a growing need for a graduate education facility near NASA’s Manned Space Center in Clear Lake. The school opened its doors to students in 1974. For most of its history, it offered only upper-division and graduate-level studies. In 2014, it began to admit freshmen and sophomore students. Today, UHCL enrolls almost 9,000 students and counting each year. The school colors are blue and green, and its athletic nickname is the hawks.

UHCL is not a satellite campus of the University of Houston; it is its own separately accredited, degree-granting institution. UHCL itself operates two satellite campuses, the UH–Clear Lake Pearland Campus and the Texas Medical Center.
