As a premier urban teaching and research institution, the University of Houston is a leading innovator in distance education and teaching, producing award-winning programs taught by award-winning faculty. Classes are offered via online, hybrid (i.e. half face-to-face, half online), interactive television, and in state-of-the-art classroom settings at off-campus teaching centers around the greater Houston area. UH’s distance education programs provide excellent value to busy students pursuing a bachelor’s or graduate degree.
At UH, you can earn selected certificates, bachelor’s, or master’s degrees even if your time on campus is limited. Our DE program delivers courses on a schedule designed for student professionals who work full-time. This allows you to complete your graduation requirements faster without compromising the quality of your education. In many cases, you may use transfer credits from other institutions toward an undergraduate degree from UH.
UH offers the largest and longest running distance education program in Texas, delivering selected courses to over 10,000 students in multiple degree programs each year, and provides a student services staff dedicated to meeting the needs of DE students. Staff is available to answer questions, solve problems, and provide general academic advising.
With a strong history of distance education operations, plus staff dedicated exclusively to distance learning, UH hosts the most experienced DE program in Texas.
