Meet our Dean - Dr. Arthur Warga

The Bauer College of Business at the University of Houston is on a path to greatness fueled by the support of a superb faculty, highly capable staff, passionate alumni, brilliant students and the generosity of business partners and leaders dedicated to the future of our youth and our nation. I have had the good fortune to serve as Bauer College’s Dean during some of the most exciting times in our sixty-year history. Shortly after I assumed my current role, our vision to become a premier metropolitan business school was jump-started by a $40 million gift from the College’s namesake, C. T. (Ted) Bauer in 2001.

Our top priority since receiving Ted's extraordinary gift was to implement a strategic plan to achieve our vision. To that end, we have added a total of 64 new faculty members to our team, bringing our total faculty count to 152. Our finance and marketing departments were rated No. 8 and No. 9, respectively, in the U.S. by Academic Analytics in an article appearing in the Chronicle of Higher Education. From our Accountancy & Taxation, Decision and Information Sciences, Finance, Management, to Marketing & Entrepreneurship, our departments boast faculty experts who are highly sought by leading business and industry publications, online and broadcast media.
