Houston Baptist University (HBU) is a private Baptist institution located in southwest Houston, Texas.
It was created as Houston Baptist College by action of the Baptist General Convention of Texas on November 15, 1960 after many years of work and study. The aim of the College founders was the establishment of a Christian college of the highest order in the city of Houston that stressed quality of life as well as quality of learning.
The College opened in September 1963 with a freshman class of 193 students, a cluster of new buildings, and a teaching staff of thirty faculty. A new class was added each year until the College attained a four-year program in 1966-67. By then, the full- time faculty had grown to fifty-four members, serving an enrollment of approximately nine hundred undergraduate students.
More than 50 undergraduate majors are offered and pre-professional programs range from Biblical Languages to Nursing. A streamlined double major program combines two areas of study, and is generally a requirement for the undergraduate college.
A campus wide renovation will demolish much of the shopping center to the northeast (which the college owns).
