MBA Program
An MBA degree is one that is highly recognizable throughout the world. The HT MBA degree allows students with an undergraduate degree in Business Administration or in a related business degree to build upon the skills already learned.
The HT MBA is a hybrid MBA program with a concentration in Management. It offers a blended learning format of online and on-campus courses and is specifically designed for the working professional.
Adult Degree Programs
At Huston-Tillotson University (HT), degree programs reflect the urgent demands of the changing times by providing the practical, relevant knowledge needed for success in today’s global economy. While highly focused and accelerated, all programs retain the same high standards that have distinguished HT graduates for the past 145 years.
Our degree completion programs focus on developing the skills and knowledge that are most important to you. Our students know they’re getting personal attention every step of the way. We recognize that the adult learner differs significantly from the traditional college student.
Financial Aid
The mission of our office is to support the overall goals of recruiting, retaining, and the graduation of a diverse student population by setting a pace of excellence in financial aid administration and superior service to students.
We encourage you to come by and meet our staff. We can also guide you through the financial aid application process.
I am honored and energized to serve as HT’s second female president and I look forward to advancing an aggressive agenda that will ensure HT’s continued success.
