 Can you or your students visit HBU to find out more?

HBU encourages you and your students to visit our campus. There’s simply no better way to get a feel for what we are all about. A campus visit may be scheduled online or by contacting the Campus Visit Coordinator. University representatives are also available to speak with your students in a classroom setting about the college admissions process and general college preparedness. We also welcome groups of students to visit our campus.

Each high school in the Houston area is assigned an Admissions Representative. If your school is outside the Houston area, your representative is assigned to the entire region. The Admissions Representative is available to you and your students to answer any questions you may have.

In addition, HBU also hosts special events just for high school counselors. We urge you to review this section of our Web site for more information.
