The institution now known as the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor traces its roots back to 1845, when it was established by the Republic of Texas as a women’s college counterpart to Baylor University. Today, UMHB is a key contributor to the central Texas region’s scholarly community—a small, private institution specializing in healthcare-related fields, including a doctoral program for nursing. Students participate in a number of unique annual traditions, including the Easter Pageant, the Midnight March candlelight procession, and the Dubbing Ceremony, in which students are “knighted” by school administrators.
UMHB’s main campus sits in the small city of Belton, about an hour north of Austin and just outside of Fort Hood. The neighborhoods around the south side of campus offer convenient walking access to both the university and Downtown Belton. Local eateries like Schoepf’s Old-Time Barbecue and Los Compadres are extremely popular with the college crowd, just a few blocks from campus. Being so close to Austin, it’s easy to hop down and take in the famous sights, sounds, and tastes of the state capital.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
