The University of Houston gave me the foundation and tools to successfully accomplish my career objectives to date. The Melcher College of Business (Information Sciences) places an emphasis on knowledge and understanding of business processes, computer and logical concepts, management, and interpersonal & communication skills. In the course of my career, I can safely say that those skills have had more to do with my career advancement than the technical (programming, etc.) skills. As an IT manager responsible for recruiting and hiring, I find that candidates with strong technical skills are easy to find but often lack strong business and communication skills. I place a premium on cadidates who bring a good balance of both skills (technical & non-technical) to the table.

Another benefit of having attended the University of Houston was the exposure to a very diverse student body. I was a traditional (full-time, on-campus) undergraduate student. Being able to attend classes with working students not only gave me contacts to people already out in the business community but it also gave me insight into what things were really like in the "real world."

To any prospective college students (especially those in the state of Texas), I strongly recommend that you consider the University of Houston. It really is one of the best kept secrets in the nation! Go Coogs!!!

That's great! I wasn't so lucky with my program, and now I earn the bare minimum with my business.

Awesome review! I'll share it with friends

I studied at the Faculty of Management and Administration and I want to say that the knowledge that I received was not so useful to me. The fact is that this knowledge is very outdated and is unlikely to become relevant again. I am used to keeping up with the times and with the help of pandadoc I took my business to the next level. I recommend reading their blog at https://www.pandadoc.com/blog/how-to-write-an-invoice/ to learn some of the nuances of running a business.
