From the Institution

2021 marked the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor's 176th anniversary, carrying on its tradition as the oldest continuously operating college in the state. Founded in 1845, UMHB prepares students for lives of leadership, service, and faith-informed discernment in a global society. Academic excellence, personal attention, broad-based scholarship, and a Baptist vision for education have distinguished this Christ-centered learning community for more than 176 years. Enrollment at UMHB for the 2021-2022 academic year is at nearly 3,800 students, and student housing is at 92% capacity with 1,894 students living on campus. With over 90 percent of students receiving some form of financial aid, UMHB remains accessible to a broad audience. The 375-acre campus is large enough to provide a wealth of opportunities and experiences, small enough to walk across, and one of the safest campuses in the nation. The university offers more than 70 unique academic programs, including bachelor's degrees in 58 undergraduate majors, 16 master's degree programs, and three doctoral degrees, which include Doctor of Education, Doctor of Nursing Practice, and Doctor of Physical Therapy. In 2021, UMHB added the Master of Science in Physician Assistant program and a new Bachelor of Arts in Southwest Borderlands Studies. A 17:1 student-to-faculty ratio means students get expertise from teachers who know their names. UMHB students take active roles in spreading the good news of Jesus Christ across the world. Each year, hundreds of students, faculty, and staff members take part in mission activities around the globe. For the last 83 years, UMHB has held its Easter Pageant in the spring. The student-led production depicts the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The performances regularly draw more than 6,000 spectators. Performances are also streamed online, where they have been enjoyed by people around the world. An athletic powerhouse, the university competes in the American Southwest Conference of NCAA Division III. Cru student-athletes now participate in 16 sports with the addition of beach volleyball. UMHB has won national titles in both football and golf and celebrated five American Southwest Conference Championships in the 2020-2021 season. Most recently, the Cru football team brought home another National Championship title when they defeated North Central College in the 2021 Stagg Bowl. In UMHB's spring 2021 graduating class, an estimated 490 students were awarded degrees. Of those, 415 earned bachelor's degrees, 57 received master's degrees, and 18 earned doctoral degrees. In December 2021, an additional 417 students were awarded degrees from UMHB. Of those, 333 received bachelor's degrees, 45 earned master's degrees, and 39 received doctoral degrees.
