Information for High School Students

The Bauer College of Business at the University of Houston offers a dynamic real-world experience to help prepare you not just for a career in business, but for life. It’s your potential – reach it here!

 

Freshman Admission to the Bauer College: How to apply

 

Apply as a freshman to the University of Houston. You will be asked to select a preferred major – select “Business” or “Pre-business”. Requirements for admission into UH as a Pre-business student are higher than standard UH requirements.  To see if you qualify to be a business major, visit the UH Office of Admissions Admissions Criteria webpage and scroll to the Special Major Requirements section of the page. 

 

If you meet all requirements, you will be admitted as “Pre-Business”. Keep in mind that every freshman student starts out as Pre-business - students in Bauer College do not declare their major concentration until their late sophomore/early junior year.
