Our mission is to help students understand what they need to do to earn a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) at University of Houston-Downtown. Advisors provide assistance with curriculum planning and information about courses required. We are dedicated to providing every business student with the necessary information and resources to achieve a successful academic career.
Students should schedule their initial advising appointment immediately upon admission to the Marilyn Davies College of Business. Students are not assigned a particular advisor; any member of the team can help with questions about degree requirements and UHD policies.
