Our review
Bauer is the degree Houston’s energy workforce actually gets: evening and weekend formats sized for refinery and corporate schedules, a sales program with a national reputation, and a resident cost around $42,000. Rice takes the full-time prestige market; Bauer moves more managers through the industry every year.
