Why is UH’s status as a Tier One University relevant to the community?
A public Tier One university enhances Houston’s capacity to attract talent, invite new industry, strengthen existing businesses and benefit from cutting-edge research that is locally tested and relevant. Graduates from a nationally competitive university will have a national brand and globally competitive skills. Finally, the university will attract more federal dollars, and data indicates that one federal dollar in research grants results in $18 worth of economic impact.
