Greetings,

Welcome to the C. T. Bauer College of Business at the University of Houston. Here, our students are fond of saying that this is a place “Where Awesome Happens.” If you spend time with us, either on our website or in person, I believe you will agree.

In our 2017 Dean’s Report, you’ll find updates on each of our programs, along with information on our strides in academic research and thought leadership, donor support, and community impact.
