Lone Star College-University Park to host free college fair

HOUSTON, TX -- The Lone Star College-University Park (LSC-University Park) Transfer Center will host its annual fall College Fair – alternatively referred to as the Transfer Fair - on Monday, Oct. 2, from 9–11 a.m. in the second-floor hallways of the Richard G. Carpenter Academic Buildings 12 and 13. The event is free, open to the public, and requires no registration.

More than 40 colleges and universities, ranging from within Texas to across the country and internationally, will be represented. The event will feature both public and private institutions. Attendees can talk with admissions representatives, learn about degree programs, and explore scholarship options.

“Attending our college fair is a great chance for students to connect with universities and gather valuable information,” said Stephanie Smith, manager of transfer services at Lone Star College-University Park. "We encourage all students to attend and to come prepared with questions for admissions representatives."

College fairs offer valuable opportunities for high school students, LSC-University Park students, and others preparing to transfer to four-year institutions to learn about their college options and begin their college planning. LSC-University Park Transfer Services advising staff provide personalized assistance with admissions application, degree pathways, course registration, and selection of transferable courses. LSC-University Park students who obtain an associate degree typically outperform their counterparts who start at four-year institutions right after high school.

LSC-University Park offers over 70 study programs, including both credit and non-credit courses, workforce training, and continuing education. Courses are available during weekdays, evenings, and weekends in traditional, online, and hybrid formats.
