    From Wayland Baptist University

    When students, staff and faculty are asked what they love about Wayland, you’ll continually hear “Wayland is my home – these people are my family.” Wayland has taken a unique approach to education since the time it was founded in 1908 with the purpose to make education accessible to all and to provide an education based on our Christian faith and Baptist heritage.

    Students are guided to grow and learn in a comfortable setting that challenges them to think critically, grow spiritually, and form lasting relationships that will provide them with personal and professional opportunities you cannot find anywhere else.
