UHCL's general business program offers affordable tuition that is lower than some regional universities and UHCL graduates of the program ranked in the top three in highest earnings among Texas public institutions, according to the Department of Education's College Scoreboard Database.

The College of Business at the University of Houston-Clear Lake holds both business and separate accounting accreditation with The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International.
