The Finance department and the Bauer College of Business continue on a path of consistent growth. The department has been successful in attracting excellent researchers at the senior and junior levels, and being successful in placing a relatively large number of papers in top finance, economics and accounting journals. (For details on recent research productivity rankings, visit the department website at www.bauer.uh.edu/departments/finance).

 With nearly 5000 undergraduate students, and over 800 graduate students, the College offers B.B.A. and MBA degrees; MS degrees in accountancy, finance, energy management, marketing and supply chain; and Ph.D. degrees in business. The Ph.D. program has also seen a substantial uplift, in tandem with the growth of resources and the faculty.

We also have innovative finance-driven executive and certification programs. The AIM Center for Investment Management is a state of the art trading laboratory, classroom, and research facility, and houses the Cougar Investment Fund, LLC, a student-managed investment fund.  The Gutierrez Energy Management Institute is an excellent finance education and research resource for the energy industry with active support of corporate members.  The UH Bauer Real Estate Program is a joint initiative by the Bauer College and Houston’s practicing real estate professional community. It offers a robust array of academic course work and practice based internships to prepare students for professional careers in real estate development.
