WELCOME Message from the Chief Health Officer

It is not by chance or a whim that “UH Health” is one of the university’s top four strategic initiatives.

Located in the nation’s fourth largest city, which is home to the Texas Medical Center – the world’s largest conglomeration of hospitals and medical research facilities – the University of Houston offers a large number of health, and health-related educational programs.

These undergraduate and graduate programs are offered at pre-professional and professional levels across 10 of the university’s 14 colleges, including pharmacy, social work, nursing, optometry, engineering, law, and others.

Reflecting the prominence of these programs, almost one fourth of UH’s 44,000 students are enrolled in health and healthrelated majors that provide them with exceptional instruction and opportunities for research and internships.

Other distinctive attributes of UH Health are: • The highly successful Honors Pre-Medical Program, which prepares students for medical schools and enrolls over 80 students per year.

• Nationally ranked programs in health law, health policy and health education, as well as in biomedical sciences and engineering.

• Many service-learning opportunities for students to partner with communities and community-based organizations to improve the health of residents in those communities.

• Wide variety of health- and health care-related research including basic, translational, clinical, populationand community-oriented, and health services research conducted by UH faculty and students.

Equally important are the plans to establish College of Medicine that will address the health and health care needs of area communities with significant health disparities. Through UH Health, we plan to train the next generation of physicians with a focus on the health care delivery sciences, including health informatics, quality of care, patient safety, population health management, and team-based health care.

I invite you to discover more about UH Health by visiting uh.edu/uh-health.

Steve Spann Chief Health Officer University of Houston

LAW CENTER The Law Center was established in 1947 and enrolls more than 800 students in its degree programs. We offer J.D., LL.M. and “concurrent” degrees that allow students to obtain two degrees in less time than individual programs would require.

We are currently ranked No. 50 among the nearly 200 law schools in the United States, and we are one of only eight public law schools that offer multiple ‘Top 10’ programs.

The Law Center is truly a “global” school and is well-connected with the international legal and education communities. The international activities of our faculty include visiting professorships, publications in foreign journals, and participation in international symposia and conferences.

We have an outstanding faculty assisted by a large and experienced group of adjunct professors. Recently, our faculty have written nearly 80 books and published nearly 200 articles in leading law journals and other publications.

GRADUATE & PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS

LAW

J.D., LL.M.

UH Law Center’s LL.M. degree teaches its graduates advanced skills providing access to professional networks to succeed in the global, national, and local legal market. The program offers a wide curriculum of health law subjects ranging from genetics and biotechnology to psychiatry and medical malpractice.

Applicants who received their law degree in the United States must hold a J.D. degree from an ABA-accredited law school. Applicants must demonstrate their ability to perform satisfactory graduate work as evidenced by high grade-point average or high class rank in law school. Most U.S. applicants to the University of Houston Law Center have graduated in the upper one-third of their law school classes.

Lawyers educated in other countries must hold a law degree from an accredited university, or be admitted to practice before the highest court in their jurisdiction. Applicants must demonstrate their ability to perform satisfactory graduate work by presenting evidence of either a high grade-point average or superior class standing at the school where they earned their law degree. A test of English proficiency is required of all applicants who earned a law degree from a country in which English is not the official language. The Law Center LL.M. program typically requires a score of 100 on the IBT-TOEFL or 7.0 on the IELTS
