Welcome From The Dean

Dean Jonathan Schwartz of the College of Public Service meeting with the UHD Empowered Youth Program.

As a student at UHD’s College of Public Service, you are aware of our award-winning programs and faculty, plus the good work our faculty, students, and staff do not only here at the university but across our city as well. Well, it seems the word has gotten out to a larger audience! UHD was recently named one of the best colleges in the U.S. We were ranked number 224 out of the top 400 Best Colleges in America in The Wall Street Journal/College Pulse’s recent announcement of 2024 college rankings. Only 23 Texas colleges and universities in total made the top 400 with the University of Houston at No. 208 and UHD at no. 224! We were also ranked number one for diversity (alongside Kentucky’s Berea College) and number three for student experience! You are at the right school!
