UTPB was founded as an upper-level institution, and this University continues to welcome and accommodate older and non-traditional students. We offer numerous evening classes, online classes, and a study room for veterans. The Student Multipurpose Center under construction will also house a day care center.  There are even scholarships for non-traditional students.
