Why Choose a General Business BS at UHCL?
Customizable to Your Needs
Build a degree that fits your needs and interests. The general business major allows you to choose the courses that make up your major. Work with a specialized academic advisor to help you choose the appropriate business courses and craft the plan that is right for you.
Learn Your Way
Plan your degree around your schedule. Earn your degree with online and face-to-face classes, or a blend of both. If you are starting out as a first-time college student, some of your Texas Common Core courses may require face-to-face classes. All the required upper-level classes are available fully online or face-to-face. Classes are offered year-round making it easy to stay on schedule to graduate in a timely manner.
Make a Good Business Decision
UHCL's general business program offers affordable tuition that is lower than some regional universities and UHCL graduates of the program ranked in the top three in highest earnings among Texas public institutions, according to the Department of Education's College Scoreboard Database.
The College of Business at the University of Houston-Clear Lake holds both business and separate accounting accreditation with The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International. Recognition by AACSB symbolizes the commitment to continuous improvement of educational quality, regional engagement with business partners, and the effectiveness of our societal impact. AACSB holds its member institutions to standards of excellence as interpreted by peer review teams, accreditation committees, and Board of Directors. Fewer than 1 percent of the business schools in the world, and only one other public university in the Houston region, have earned both business and separate accounting accreditation.
