Houston Baptist University (HBU)
Houston Baptist University is a unique institution. Founded in faith, HBU grew out of the desire of a small group of committed individuals who wanted to establish a boldly Christian university in a major metropolitan setting.
HBU is a university where the foundation of every student's education begins in a faithful understanding of the liberal arts. It is a university where students learn more about the world and themselves, and enjoy an academic experience where faith and learning go hand in hand.
Since its inception in 1960, HBU has grown into a thriving community of faith and scholarship. Our students engage in intellectual, spiritual, social, and personal development and transformation, guided by an accomplished, experienced faculty with a passion for teaching, and supported by our dedicated staff and administrators. Thousands of students from Texas, across the nation, and beyond graduated from HBU to lead meaningful lives of leadership, distinction, and service. And we know there are thousands more to come.
In the HBU community, the pursuit of knowledge does not end when you depart from our campus. Here you will gain lifelong relationships with some of your truest friends, challenge others and yourself to build up treasure not just on earth, but above and gain an unwavering belief that yes, you can make a difference in the world around you. Come to HBU, and know this is a place of finding, of learning, and of growing in faith, in knowledge, and in vision. Come to HBU, and become who you are.
