It’s not simple – which is why the University of Houston is facing the challenge head on. UH Energy has formed public-private collaborations to create an economic triangle of research, workforce trainings and industrial partnerships at the Energy Research Park (ERP). The ERP, on 74 acres adjacent to I-45, hosts the University’s cutting edge energy research and academic programs.
The energy crisis is our kind of crisis.

ERP’s first corporate partner, SuperPower Inc., is working with world-renowned UH energy researcher Venkat “Selva” Selvamanickam and other UH scientists to commercialize super-efficient transformers, wind generators and fault current limiters. At the same time, UH and three other institutions are developing a superconducting magnet energy system device that could revolutionize the nation’s electrical power grid.
UH performs innovative research to address the emerging needs of the upstream and midstream petroleum sector, including work on intelligent oil fields, nano-scale devices, subsea engineering and interdisciplinary management programs. UH has the
only sub-sea engineering master’s program in the country, a perfect example of how deep the University is willing to dive to set their sights towards the unknown. Since its creation a few years ago, enrollment in the program has increased by more than 1500 percent.
UH Energy is fueling the industry by producing a trained workforce, research and development, leadership and technology incubation. With our reputation as one of the finest energy think tanks, our location in the energy capital of the world and our impressive Energy Advisory Board, the University of Houston is in a prime position to generate a power surge of new leaders.

We mixed all mediums and created something huge. UH Arts provides the fuel to ignite dreams, awaken the imagination and contribute real art to the real world. Some people call them architects, dancers, painters or designers. We call them researchers, professionals and pioneers.
UH ARTS
UH Arts serves as a cultural destination and a bustling laboratory. We set our sights toward the unknown to develop new talent and inspire the community at large. From world-premieres presented by the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts to world-class exhibits at the Blaffer Art Museum, UH Arts enriches the Houston experience with original works that bring passion and inspiration to the gritty grid of urban life.
Every year, for two magical weeks, more than 35,000 people flock to Miller Outdoor Theater for the Houston Shakespeare Festival. Each day, 40,000 students, faculty
and visitors walk through one of the finest outdoor art collections in the nation. More than 400 original pieces define our campus as the premier site of fresh local and national art. In the past two years alone, more than 50 books were published by UH Creative Writing Program students and faculty. The power of music inspires our journey as well. Moores Opera House thrills with one of the largest opera production programs in the nation.
UH Arts creates a solid artistic hub to nurture our students’ visions. The result? An infusion of inspiration for the City of Houston and beyond.

At the University of Houston, our student
athletes are not graded by the number of
games won or lost, but by the amount of
willpower and resolve they use to face any
obstacle. These are the characteristics of a
true champion, and at UH, this is the core
curriculum we teach.
Our athletes double major in grit and determination.

the University of Houston unprecedented national exposure. And now, new and renovated venues at the University of Houston are changing the landscape of the sports scene in the city. The new football stadium, currently being built on the site of Robertson Stadium, will seat over 40,000 fans.
Building champions for life demands integrity, excellence, inclusivity and sportsmanship in perfect balance - the core curriculum we teach at the University of Houston. These are the characteristics that have built our storied program.
