Adjunct Professor of Economics

About Houston Christian University

At Houston Christian University (HCU), our Christian liberal arts, professional, and graduate programs have equipped students to lead, collaborate, and discover out of a deep sense of purpose for more than 60 years. We are driven forward by our central confession, "Jesus Christ is Lord," and defined by our "Ten Pillars" core convictions. From this foundation, we guide students confidently into discerning discovery, preparing them to think biblically, critically, and holistically about how to engage the world.

HCU is set in the heart of one of the most diverse and fastest-growing cities in the nation. We continue to enroll strong freshmen classes, our graduate programs have more than doubled in the past decade, and we are significantly expanding our online programs as well.
