University of Mary Hardin-Baylor (UMHB) is a Christian co-educational liberal arts institution of higher learning located in Belton, Texas. Founded by the Republic of Texas in 1845 as "Baylor Female College", it has grown to approximately 2,700 students and awards degrees at the baccalaureate, master's, and doctorate levels. It is affiliated with the Baptist General Convention of Texas.
The university is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). UMHB's first doctoral program, leading to the Doctor of Education (Ed.D.), officially began in June 2007 with twenty-one students in the inaugural class. The overall student/faculty ratio is 15:1.
UMHB's history dates to the time before Texas became state. Its original charter was granted by the Republic of Texas in 1845 as the female counterpart to Baylor University. It began operations in 1846 in the town of Independence with the first class consisting of twenty-four male and female students meeting in a small wooden building. While the males and females attended school on the same campus, classifying it as coeducational, the classes were still separated by gender.
Baylor College’s coeducation lasted only until 1851 when it was divided into a Female Department and a Male Department. Each began occupying separate buildings approximately a mile apart.
The changing demography of Texas and relocation of a nearby railroad made it increasingly difficult for college students to get transportation to Independence. Both colleges were relocated in 1886 to their permanent homes in Central Texas: the men moved to Waco where the school merged with coeducational Waco University and continued as Baylor University and the women relocated to Belton where it continued operations as Baylor Female College.
The Cottage Home System, the first work-study program for women in a college west of the Mississippi, was instituted on the new Belton campus in 1893 by Elli Moore Townsend, wife of the serving president. Its aim was to provide more affordable housing for women students who could not meet the expense of dormitories. The women students earned financial assistance by growing vegetables, raising livestock, and hand making crafts and quality clothing items. Initially the cottages were modest wood frame residences. In 1905, a permanent residence hall for the Cottage Home System was built by the residents themselves.

The cirriculum seems a bit print graphics light with more emphasis on internet and computer graphics.
The degree program I got into was only for an Associates degree, but there was a lot of emphasis on the print aspect than digitial video or 3-D graphics.
