A Diverse Campus in a Diverse City
We’re located right in the heart of Downtown Houston, one of the nation’s most culturally diverse metropolitan areas. So naturally, we’ve created an environment that welcomes and embraces students from all backgrounds.

Unique Benefits​
With a 20-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio, we provide a unique hands-on learning environment for each student. They can choose from face-to-face instruction downtown or on our satellite campuses, degrees and classes offered completely online and even a combination of the two.

Best of all, we offer everything for one of the lowest tuition rates among state colleges and universities.

We thought you’d like that. And we think you’ll love UHD.
