University of Houston--Clear Lake and Texas Southern University (Jones) are the budget options. Clear Lake is much better, with a 10:1 student to staff ratio, and is aimed at students with around five years' work experience. Jones is much less selective, and has a 43:1 student-teacher ratio.

What is your budget?
A ranked school like Rice - Jones, or a second-tier one like Houston - Bauer would provide a better return on investment than less expensive programs.
Although they seem like a lot of money, sometimes these schools can be generous with scholarships - almost every student in the Rice program receives scholarships - which average around $25k per student.
And if you do the ROI math, the program pays for itself after one year, based on the average graduate salary.

Thanks Ralph / Duncan
I completely agree with you on ROI factor. Graduating from a top tier school definitely distinguishes one's cv, when floated in the job market.
My situation is, however, quite different. I have to finance my education from a scant budget.
To make it clear in terms of numbers....lets say $ 1000 or nearest figure around that...per month. Which means I'm targeting a program with 'tuition and fees' on yearly basis of around $ 12000-15000 maximum.
I know this budget may only help me access second rate schools... but that may be the best I can manage...given my circumstances.
I have no issues to enroll for a longer period than 24-30 months usually required for a degree program. But stretching my budget is not a probability
Is there a suitable solution in Houston for me ?

With the Texas Southern program you'd just slip in under your budget. There's really nothing else in the area that would be worth it.
