s the next generation of leaders. Jones Graduate School of Business, named in honor of prominent Houston business and civic leader Jesse H. Jones, received its initial funding in 1974 through a major gift from Houston Endowment Inc., a philanthropic foundation established by Jones and his wife, Mary Gibbs Jones. Our graduate school offers Full-Time, Executive, Professional, Online and Hybrid MBA programs, as well as a one-year MAcc degree, Ph.D. program, several joint degree programs, and executive education programs. Virani Undergraduate School of Business, named in honor of Houston community and business leaders Farid and Asha Virani, offers an undergraduate business major, business minor and entrepreneurship minor. Our programs provide students with a comprehensive foundation in leadership and business fundamentals, and our undergraduates are taught by the same nationally recognized faculty who teach our MBA programs — allowing them to gain early insights into the ever-changing business landscape. Both schools have received recognition for leadership and innovation from outlets such as Business Week, U.S. News & World Report, Financial Times, The Economist, Princeton Review and Entrepreneur Magazine.
