Transfer Student Admission
If you are considering transferring to Houston Baptist University, you are in good company. Each year, transfer students come for many reasons: the quality of our academic programs, our generous transfer merit awards, our small class sizes and low student-to-faculty ratio, and the welcoming Christian environment.
We have pages specifically for Houston Community College, Lone Star and San Jac students. See the HBU Transfer Guide (PDF) for information applicable to all transfer students.
Affordability
HBU awarded an average of $16,990 in institutional aid to transfer students in 2021. Learn more about your expected cost of attendance and check out our Net Price Calculator for more information.
