2022 ACCOUNTABILITY REPORT
On the cover: Students walking past the Science Building (University of Houston)
The University of Houston System serves as the primary engine of the Greater Houston region’s educated workforce. Through four universities and five instructional sites, the UH System has played a transformational role in the economic growth and vitality of its communities and the state of Texas.
The UH System serves more than 75,000 students and provides education programs, life-changing research and services with local and global impact.
The UH System’s goals are to be nationally competitive, elevate our students’ success and advance the communities we serve. Excellence is not a destination; it’s a journey. I encourage you to read our 2022 Accountability Report to learn about each university’s progress toward our principal goals and other performance measures.
The report reflects our commitment to accountability, and I am pleased to submit it for your consideration.
RENU KHATOR Chancellor, University of Houston System
ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON SYSTEM
The University of Houston System provides, through the complementary missions of its four universities, access to comprehensive higher education programs and services to the diverse community of students in the Houston metropolitan area and beyond. The UH System's research and scholarship are globally significant, nationally competitive and serve as an engine for economic development, while its public service activities enhance the quality of life in the region.
Relationships among UHS institutions are collegial and collaborative. Credits transfer easily from one institution to another, and students move freely from one campus' library to another. Each UHS institution has a distinct mission; together, the institutions' missions and programs complement and support one another.

STEM and Classroom Building (University of Houston-Clear Lake)
University of Houston
The leading public research university in Houston and the third largest in Texas, UH is a nationally competitive, comprehensive research university offering undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, distance and continuing education programs. UH, the oldest of the four UH System universities, has been recognized as a Tier One institution by the Carnegie Foundation for its high level of research activity and is home to a Phi Beta Kappa chapter — America’s most prestigious honor society. Expanding its community reach, UH also serves students through instructional sites in Sugar Land and Katy. In 2020, the University launched a College of Medicine to meet the health care needs of underserved populations in the region and state. UH has a yearly $6.4 billion economic impact on the Greater Houston area, over 47,000 students enrolled, awards close to 11,000 degrees annually and has more than 315,000 alumni, many of whom live and work in Texas.

John M. O’Quinn Law Building
University of Houston–Clear Lake
UHCL has been opening doors for accessible education since 1974 and continues to increase its regional university rankings, serving as a destination for lifelong learning, economic growth and global impact. Located in southeast Houston on a beautiful 524-acre campus, UHCL serves more than 9,000 students. UHCL offers more than 90 programs including undergraduate, graduate and doctoral degree programs from its four colleges, with an additional site in Pearland and an instructional site at the Texas Medical Center. More than 75,000 alumni are leaders in their fields and include CEOs, scientists, artists, astronauts and more.

Campus Recreation & Wellness Center
University of Houston–Downtown
Located in the heart of Houston, UHD educates more than 14,000 students annually and has an alumni base of more than 64,000. Graduates emerge from the institution prepared to serve as leaders in law enforcement, business, science, education, nonprofit management, the arts and other industries. Students benefit from its convenient campus (accessible by light rail and from the city’s Bayou Greenways) and curriculum delivering real-world learning experiences. In recent years, UHD’s economic impact on the region totaled $2 billion. With a growing campus — including the new College of Sciences & Technology Building — and bolstered graduation rates, that sum should continue to grow as UHD approaches its 50th year of serving Houstonians.

College of Sciences and Technology
University of Houston–Victoria
UHV offers more than 80 academic programs to nearly 4,500 students living in the Gulf Coast region and beyond. An instructional site in Katy and a highly ranked distance education program expand UHV’s educational outreach. The Victoria campus continues to grow with a residence hall that debuted in 2020, a STEM building and a multi-use facility that opened in 2021, and a health and wellness center expected to be completed in 2024. UHV is a member of the Houston Guided Pathways to Success initiative to increase higher education completion rates.
