UH-Downtown (UHD), Houston’s Downtown University, prides itself in providing an atmosphere of excellence, opportunity and diversity to its 11,000+ students in a variety of undergraduate programs and selected graduate programs.

UHD offers excellent educational opportunities through a wide variety of bachelor’s and master’s degree programs in four colleges: Business, Humanities and Social Sciences, Public Service, and Sciences and Technology. In addition, UHD has University College, which is responsible for assisting students in their academic progress until they officially declare a major.

UH-Downtown is the second largest institution in the University of Houston System, which includes a total of four distinct universities: University of Houston, UH-Clear Lake, UH-Downtown and UH-Victoria. All four institutions are governed by the UH System Board of Regents. The chief administrative officer at each university is the president of that component university.

With its dedicated faculty, small classes and innovative course options, UHD emphasizes excellence in teaching and student success. UHD is nationally recognized for its outstanding academic opportunities, including its accredited programs and productive community partnerships.

Flexible schedules and class options (including face-to-face, online, live interactive television, and videotape courses) make higher education available to students throughout the Houston metropolitan area.

UHD prepares individuals to thrive in the multicultural workplace of the 21st century through interaction with its student population, which is diverse in every sense of the word – in ethnicity, age, financial background, and life situation. U.S. News and World Report names UHD one of the nation’s most ethnically diverse institutions of higher learning.
