The amount of support you receive from faculty, staff and former students is unmatched compared to other programs. Any ideas you have, bring it up to faculty and staff, and they will guide you to the best suggestion to move forward. Former students are always willing to coffee chat, connect with you and provide guidance on ways to break into a new industry or great courses to take.
Marcus Wade
Professional MBA
For those not native to Houston, I often hear Houston described as one of those places you never intended to stay or fall in love with, and yet, once people move here, they often don’t look back. I would say it is equal parts the people and rich representation of diverse cultures and foods, the warmer climate, and the affordability factor that make life in Houston such a great place to earn an MBA.
