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.

At any point in your decision making process, please feel free to schedule time with one of our Graduate Program Recruiters.

Get Back Out There Quickly

The first year of the Bauer MBA is built around day classes on campus, but the second year can be completed with evening classes. This means you get the benefit of building connections with your cohort, as well as the chance to get back to work in the real world more quickly.

Requirements to Apply

To be eligible for the Bauer MBA, you need a four-year undergraduate degree (or international equivalent) from an accredited institution. Post-bachelor's professional work experience is strongly preferred. You also need to take the GMAT or GRE though you can apply for a GMAT/GRE waiver if you have several years of professional experience, or a demonstrated high level of quantitative or analytical knowledge.
