About the Program

The Internal Audit program at the UH Bauer College of Business was recently recognized by the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) in early 2009 as a partner level school. There are only 19 other schools around the world that hold the same designation.

We are in the process of working towards obtaining the Center of Excellence designation from the IIA within the next couple of years. Once we reach this milestone, we will be 1 of only 6 universities around the world (and 1 of 3 universities in the United States) that possess this prestigious designation.
