Huston-Tillotson University, located in east Austin, Texas, occupies a 24-acre campus overlooking the state capitol building. The institution emerged from the 1952 merger of Samuel Huston College and Tillotson College, both originally established in the late 1800s to serve African American students, and maintains its status as a private, historically Black university affiliated with the United Methodist Church and the United Church of Christ. The campus combines historic buildings, including the 1914 Administration Building listed on the National Register of Historic Places, with modern academic facilities and residential halls that house approximately half of its undergraduate population. The university offers bachelor's degrees through four academic colleges, with notable programs in business administration, computer science, and education, while maintaining small class sizes and providing academic support services targeted to first-generation college students.
