Message from Dean C.T. Bauer College of Business Dr. Arthur Warga There is not a better time to launch our energy program with Great Lakes Institute of Management than now. No one else has a focus on energy like the University of Houston Bauer College. After all, Houston is the energy capital of the world and a thriving global city. Our business school has alumni working in this industry where they hold every position from financial analyst to CEO. You’ll find America’s and China’s top energy leaders now holding graduate MBA degrees from Bauer. In the future, we’ll add graduates to the ranks of companies serving India and its crucial needs. I have no doubt that they will help shape the future of energy here. Bauer College offers the most comprehensive energy management curriculum in the world. There’s energy economics, accounting, finance, IT and the only global energy management program for those in the energy industry. We have classes that teach everything from energy risk management and IT for traders to practical ways of cutting carbon emissions. For example, this means that the Great Lakes gains the best thinking from our long history of teaching energy trading. And, we have some of the best minds who offer a powerful blend of real-world experience, grounded in the latest research. We have invested in faculty and programs focused on energy over the past eight years. When you consider the impact of a carbon trading course, the knowledge and the learning this course presents not only has relevance to the U.S. but also to India and China, who must weigh cap and trade programs that limit the amount of emissions by companies. All of this creates an energy curriculum environment that is vibrant, innovative and interactive. Bauer has hosted talks by leaders from virtually every major energy corporation in the world. These events are fascinating and always provide our students with a valuable perspective including how CEOs define leadership. I see the potential for us to replicate this engaging experience at Great Lakes. As you can see, we have a clear advantage in this realm. We have a strong pool of faculty expertise and a proven track record of delivering and teaching programs that produce graduates well prepared and poised to bring advanced knowledge to the world’s largest and most vital industry.
