navFact Book 2003 covers fiscal years 1993 through 2002 wherever possible and appropriate. Titles and data headers will clearly indicate the time frames that follow. There are some student, faculty and employee tables as well as budget tables that reflect FY2003 data as it is available and timely.Text sections, including those in the Institutional Profile, Education (International Relations) and Institutional Development (University Advancement) tabs reflect most current information available as of press time.
The year 2002 marked a special anniversary for UT-Houston – 30 years as the most comprehensive academic health center in Texas. To commemorate the university’s 30th anniversary, we devote this edition of the Fact Book to the rich history of not only UT-Houston as a whole, but also the individual schools that comprise the university. We hope you enjoy this glimpse back in time.
The Fact Book is truly a university-wide effort. We would like to take this opportunity to thank each of the individuals who graciously provided data for – or helped proofread – Fact Book 2003. We ask our readers to pay particular attention to the sources listed throughout the book. Without these individuals’ efforts this book simply would not exist.
Please accept our most heartfelt thanks for a job well done!

Fact Book 2003 is disseminated primarily to an internal audience of UT-Houston academic and managerial administrators and faculty. Our primary aim has always been to compile useful and interesting information about the university in a format that provides historical context and lends itself to trend analysis for the use and convenience of administrators, faculty and staff.
