The University of Houston-Downtown (UHD) is a distinct public university within the University of Houston System, established in 1974 by acquiring the assets of South Texas Junior College. Its campus is strategically located in the heart of Downtown Houston, at the confluence of Buffalo and White Oak bayous, offering students unparalleled access to internships and career opportunities in the city's central business district. The campus is a blend of historic and modern buildings, notably including the One Main Building (formerly the Merchants and Manufacturers Building) and the Willow Street Pump Station, both listed on the National Register of Historic Places, alongside newer additions like the College of Sciences and Technology building and the Wellness & Success Center. Catering to a diverse student body, including many working professionals and first-generation college students, UHD offers a wide range of undergraduate and master's programs across its four academic colleges, emphasizing flexibility with day, evening, weekend, and online class options.
