About This School

The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston is a public academic health science center in Houston, Texas, United States. It was created in 1972 by The University of Texas System Board of Regents. It is located in the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical center in the world. It is composed of six schools:McGovern Medical School The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center UTHealth Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences UTHealth School of Dentistry Cizik School of Nursing D. Bradley McWilliams School of Biomedical Informatics UTHealth School of Public Health.

Situated inside the largest medical center in the world, this specialized health science institution is a serious option for students committed to careers in medicine, dentistry, nursing, or biomedical research — the $138,400 median earnings a decade out reflect just how targeted and career-driven the outcomes are. With only $12,500 in median debt at graduation, students are getting an unusually strong return relative to what they borrow. The tiny undergraduate enrollment of 460 means this is not a traditional college experience, so if you're looking for broad academic exploration, look elsewhere — but if you know exactly what you want in healthcare, the numbers here are hard to argue with.
