University of Mary Hardin-Baylor — College Profile

About

Founded in 1845 under a charter from the Republic of Texas, the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor (UMHB) is a private Christian institution renowned for its deeply integrated faith-based education and its championship-winning NCAA Division III athletic programs. Academically, UMHB is highly regarded for its premier professional preparation, most notably through the prestigious Scott and White School of Nursing, alongside robust programs in education, business, and physical therapy. The student experience is defined by a vibrant, tight-knit campus culture where students participate in cherished, decades-old traditions like the annual student-led Easter Pageant and benefit from personalized mentorship due to a low student-to-faculty ratio. This unique combination of rigorous, hands-on academics and a supportive, Christ-centered community sets UMHB apart as a place that equips students for both their careers and their callings.
