The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor is dedicated to Christian higher education.

Founded in 1845, the university has traditionally been known for producing excellent educators, nurses, business leaders, and missionaries. That has not changed, but today UMHB is also earning recognition for its talented science and music graduates, for top-notch graduate programs in counseling and physical therapy, and more.

What’s behind this success? An unapologetic dedication to Christian principles. An emphasis on inspired teaching, on making each student’s learning experience the best it can be. A commitment to excellence in every aspect of university life.
