Graduate and Professional Programs
Full-Time MBA Program

Update
We are committed to the safety of our students, faculty, and staff due to the COVID-19 situation. For Spring 2021, we will be offering courses in several formats: face-to-face in socially-distant classrooms, "HyFlex" mode where the classroom lecture is livestreamed remotely, and synchronous and asynchronous online. And we are ready to move all of our courses online, if necessary.
You’re ready for the next step. Bauer can help you get there.
The Bauer Full-Time MBA is one of the most hands-on, customizable graduate business programs available. With nearly two dozen ways to tailor your learning experience and a plethora of real-world learning environments – including an optional study-abroad program – you won’t just learn in the classroom. You’ll move beyond theory, diving into practice on the front lines of business, management and investing.
Plus, Houston is the energy capital of the country, as well as one of the most diverse cities in the U.S. That means you’ll instantly be tied into a strong and engaged alumni network, not to mention you’re choosing a field with strong career prospects: program graduates see an average salary increase of 48% after graduation.
So, whether you stay in Texas or spread your wings farther afield, you’ll have the skills, experience and connections to thrive in the path you set for yourself after just 22 months of study.
