Blanchard, UHD is a community of diverse faculty, staff, students, and regional partners dedicated to nurturing talent, generating knowledge, and driving socioeconomic mobility for a just and sustainable future.

Since opening its doors in 1974, UHD has grown in size, scope, and service, now offering 46 bachelor's and 11 master's degree programs and 17 fully online programs within its four colleges: Marilyn Davies College of Business, College of Humanities & Social Sciences, College of Public Service, and College of Sciences & Technology.

UHD educates approximately 15,000 students annually. With more than 77% of UHD's students coming directly from Harris County, UHD is not just a university in Houston, but Houston's University and an Anchor Institution for the region.
