Texas Southern Universitys Educational Opportunity Center (EOC) is a federally funded program established to help prospective students make plans regarding their future goals. This program is specifically for persons who are 19 years or older, first generation (parents do not have a bachelors degree), or those who may be low-income are primary candidates for the services offered by the Educational Opportunity Center.We seek to increase educational opportunities for adults by providing financial aid information, academic assistance and post-secondary referrals.

Our Purpose
