Summer 2025 Semester Schedule

The courses included on this webpage are for the certificate, master's, and doctoral (PhD and DHI) programs.

Some courses are taught in both instructional formats, so please refer to the course offerings below to confirm.

Students enrolled in in-person/on-campus classes must attend each weekly class session in the McWilliams SBMI's classrooms (6th floor of 7000 Fannin Street, Houston, TX 77030). Each class is offered on a specific weekday and held in a designated SBMI classroom, as noted below. Attendance in person is mandatory, and any student in an on-campus course missing more than three class meetings may be dropped at the instructor's discretion. Please refer to SBMI's attendance policy for more details.

Web-based courses with quizzes and exams may require students to use a webcam and the Google Chrome browser. See the complete list of technical requirements.

Check back later for Summer 2025 textbook information.
