Texas Success Initiative

The Texas Higher Education Assessment (THEA) provides Texas students and institutions of higher education with a flexible, fair, and accurate testing and score-reporting system. Its purpose is to assess the reading, mathematics, and writing skills that entering freshman-level students should have if they are to perform effectively in undergraduate degree programs in Texas public colleges or universities.

The TAMIU ULC assists students to prepare for the THEA Test by providing TAMIU students with tutoring for developing and strengthening academic skills in math and reading that need improvement. 

The ULC also conducts an intensive 2 day THEA workshop in Math and Reading every summer to provide TAMIU students and the TAMIU community with THEA Test preparation. The workshop covers topics specific to the THEA Test and provides instruction to strengthen required academic skills in math and reading.
