The Bauer College of Business at the University of Houston offers a dynamic real-world experience to help prepare you not just for a career in business, but for life. It’s your potential – reach it here!
Apply as a freshman to the University of Houston. You will be asked to select a preferred major – select “Business” or “Pre-business”. Requirements for admission into UH as a Pre-business student are higher than standard UH requirements. To see if you qualify to be a business major, visit the UH Office of Admissions Admissions Criteria webpage and scroll to the Special Major Requirements section of the page.
If you meet all requirements, you will be admitted as “Pre-Business”. Keep in mind that every freshman student starts out as Pre-business - students in Bauer College do not declare their major concentration until their late sophomore/early junior year.
There are many ways that parents, students, and educators can visit the Bauer College of Business. Check out our visitation webpage to view the many different options you have to interact with our students and staff!
The Bauer Business Honors Program (“Bauer Honors”) provides specialized business curriculum, smaller classes, academic services, and social and networking events to business majors who are members of The Honors College at UH.

Every freshman student is required to attend UH’s two day Freshman New Student Conferences, which includes an information and academic advising session at the Bauer College. Sign up for your Freshman New Student Conference!
As a high school student, advising may be new to you! Bauer College academic advisors help students with selecting which courses to take every semester, keeping you informed about special programs and opportunities, and getting you connected at Bauer.
Academic advising begins after freshman orientation (and throughout your college career), and Bauer College offers a large team of business academic advisors devoted to your needs. Find out about our advising team and how to see an advisor!
These two programs provide a successful transition to college for freshmen and to a four year institution for transfer students from community colleges and lay a foundation for leadership development. Up Next™ is in partnership with The Princeton Review. Students who participate in one of these two programs have improved retention and higher grades at the end of their first year than non-participants, and are better prepared to be student leaders in the college. www.bauer.uh.edu/upnext and www.bauer.uh.edu/elasp
