What will my career options be after I graduate?
This is a question you've likely asked yourself, whether you're currently enrolled
at University of Houston-Clear Lake or haven't applied yet. If you want to know if
UH-Clear Lake alumni excel in the workforce, turn to the companies that hire them.
Ask Amtrak, where the former CEO is a UHCL graduate. Ask NASA; more than 100 of our
alumni are employed by the agency, including 10 astronauts. Our graduates have landed
careers at other prestigious companies across all industries as well, including LyondellBasell,
UTMB, Memorial Hermann Jacobs, Oceaneering and HCA Healthcare.

me to a higher standard … They got me where I am today

Some of the world's most sought-after companies like ExxonMobil, Boeing, KBR, General
Electric, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Toyota routinely recruit our students. Other graduates
take the hands-on experience and leadership training they gain at UHCL and launch
their own businesses.
