Transfer students are students who have previously been enrolled at another college or university.

If you are considering transferring to Houston Baptist University, you are in good company. Each year, a large percentage of our entering class are transfer students. They come for many reasons: the quality of our academic programs, our class size and student-to-faculty ratio, the welcoming Christian environment in which to learn, and our location in southwest Houston.
