Houston Christian University

Fresh perspectives. Real-world expertise. Faith-driven purpose.
The Archie W. Dunham College of Business has welcomed six new faculty members who are shaping the next chapter of business education at HCU — bringing specializations in People Analytics, social media marketing, international enterprise, data analytics, accounting and leadership.

Your GO prep checklist ✅

Before you show up to orientation, knock these out:

1️⃣ Take the ALEKS Math Placement Exam
Find it on HuskyNet. Do this BEFORE your GO session so your advisor can place you in the right math course!

2️⃣ Submit Proof of Meningitis Vaccination
Texas law requires this for all new students under 22. You can't attend classes or move in without it — submit before GO.

3️⃣ Complete the FERPA Form on HuskyNet
If you want your parents to speak with financial aid on your behalf, this must be done in advance.

4️⃣ Submit Your Deposits
Secure your enrollment and housing by submitting your deposits in Huskynet.

Do these now and walk into GO ready to GO. 💪

It's official — the Archie W. Dunham College of Business has earned accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP), making it the only ACBSP-accredited four-year business school in the greater Houston area.
This milestone reflects years of intentional work by our faculty, staff and leadership to strengthen programs, deepen faith integration and better prepare students for meaningful careers. And the best part? It's not a finish line — it's a commitment to continuous improvement.
