Dean | Executive Director's Message
It's my pleasure to welcome you to the San Antonio campus of ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½.
More than 100 years ago Dr. and Mrs. James Henry ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ offered $10,000 and 25 acres to establish a school with two requirements: that it be faith based and open to all.
As a result of that vision, the City of Plainview, Texas accepted that challenge, and the school has upheld those provisions where even today our mission is to ". . . educate students in an academically challenging and distinctively Christian environment for professional success, lifelong learning, and service to God and humankind."
The ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ system is one of the largest Baptist universities in the country with total enrollments of more than 5,000. The external programs, now at 13 locations worldwide and online, provide a non-traditional approach to the adult learner in a flexible, affordable, and student-centered way. My challenge to you is to simply envision what you want to become at the end of your life; then begin to become that today.
If you are interested in rewriting your future, ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ might very well be the place to help you get started. Best of luck to you in your academic pursuits.
