How important is it for your husband to get a job as a police officer. It’s easier to hired in a major city than it is in a college town. I think you can cross A&M off the list with a 3.21 gpa. Based on what your looking for it is a bad fit any way. UofH would be a great choice if you can get admitted. Tech is a good school but job opportunities for your husband may be difficult. Based on the choices you have provided University of Arlington may be the best fit. Dallas DPD is begging for officers and UTA is a good fit for a non-traditional student. There are alots of apartments in Arlington and you would have plenty to do. Texas State would also be a good fit due to it being located half way between Austin and San Antonio. Lots of cities your husband could apply for a job. The accreditation issue is something you would need to research.
