The October issue of Entrepreneur Magazine listed the University of Houston as number three due to the C. T. Bauer school of business Wolff Center for Entrepreneurship. This is an undergraduate program. 
As a Houston based company we hire and consult with students from the Wolff Center both on special projects and advice on running a company in today’s economy.
The Wolff Center provides their professors as lecturers in the community providing up dates on how to succeed in your own business.
