Houston Baptist University Rankings by Salary Score

If you value your sanity, stay far away from the MSN nursing department at Houston Baptist University. From the very first semester they’re have been issues. One would think the professionalism would be top notch at a university, but my experience is there is a lack of effort that is unbelievable for Phd personnel. I have emailed the provost several times and 1.5 years later things are no better. We are self taught, the professors make no effort to lecture or record a lecture. They drag their feet in the clinical... Read More approval process and God forbid you make a complaint, they drag it out longer; they make last minute changes to clinical paperwork, require less than 24 hr notices of required meetings, and the personnel is constantly changing. L I don’t care how much money you have to pay for your masters, it would behoove you to choose any program besides HBU MSN program. This is a combined FNP/PNP program. Many of the staff have worked from home during COVID and use this as an excuse for every thing. No one answers their phone, they say leave an email and then there is no effort to respond to the email. If you love yourself, go some place other than here.

Houston Baptist University is a wonderful, prestigious university that is respected by many who live in the Houston area. It is a quiet and peaceful environment. The campus is clean and neatly manicured. I used to like to walk around a body of water to enjoy the sounds of nature and peace. I believe I received a great education from Houston Baptist. I was challenged in my assignments and class discussions were eye-opening. I heard perspectives that I had not really known some good, some questionable, but I... Read More learned. I had several professors that I feel cared about my future. They wanted me to do well and they encouraged me. I could tell that they had picked up on my personality traits and the content that I shared while we had discussions and would make suggestions on some careers I should consider. It is a private Christian university so you may have one of your professor start class or test with prayer. Again, remember that this is a Baptist school, students are required to take three Christian classes in order to graduate no matter what the students religion is. Though all religions are welcomed all students had to take Old and New Testament classes and Christian Doctrine. In addition to those Christian courses, a number of volunteer, bible study and convocation hours are required to graduate. This is a conservative university. Most students are Republicans and most are Christians. One word of advice is to make sure that there is a market for your degree. Be aware if you must get an advanced degree in order to be more marketable in this economy. Lastly, Houston Baptist is expensive. Have scholarships and grants to minimize your expenses.
