University of Houston Real Estate

The University of Houston campus is located southeast of Downtown Houston between Interstate 45 Scott Street in the heart of Houston's historic Third Ward. The 560-acre campus includes lush greenery, fountains, and sculptures. The campus is located in an area near Texas Southern University and Yates High School. Beginning as Houston Junior College in 1927, U of H's first session as a four-year institution did not begin until 1934.

The University of Houston was known as University of Houston-University Park between 1985 and 1988. This name change was an effort by the UH community to separate its identity and confusion from the other three universities within the University of Houston System - UH-Downtown, UH-Clear Lake, and UH-Victoria. While these three universities share the similar name of the University of Houston, they are essentially autonomous institutions, and each have their own president.

In 1997, the UH System and the University of Houston administrations merged. As of 1997, the University of Houston System administration is located in the Ezekiel W. Cullen Building on the University of Houston campus. The University of Houston offers a wide range of programs through its 12 academic colleges: 109 bachelors, 131 masters, and 51 doctoral degrees, and three professional degrees.

The University of Houston is also making a name for itself in the area of research. U of H ranked third in research expenditures within Texas when compared to non-medical institutions, and eighth when medical institutions were also considered. U.S. News & World Report ranks the U of H's Bauer College of Business as the top Undergraduate Business Program in Houston, third among public universities in the state of Texas, and 44th in the nation among public universities. The MBA Program ranked 5th among public universities for CEOs of S&P 500 companies. The University of Houston's faculty includes three-time Pulitzer Prize winner Edward Albee, National Medal of Science recipient Paul Chu, and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Jody Williams.
