I had a fantastic experience at Wayland Baptist University (WBU). I spent the first 3 years at their physical satellite campus in Sierra Vista, Arizona, and the teaching was great. Their teacher-to-student ratio averaged about 1 to every 15-20 students, which enabled a small class learning environment. The staff was very hands-on throughout the process. WBU has a rich culture and pleasant looking residential campus in Plainview, Texas, though I would not recommend anyone go to school here if they want to party and drink...this school should be taken seriously for what it offers academically. This is not a party school. It is a friendly, warm Christian environment where educators care about their students and faculty go the extra mile to ensure students are taken care of.
WBU is very committed to working with non-traditional students and is extraordinarily supportive of its military student members. I received both my Bachelors and Masters degrees from here.

I enjoy attending Wayland small classes, and working with some of there warmed staff at times. Wayland allowed me to experience and explore my experience and learn while enjoying being educated. Wayland is a wonderful place to pursue your education. One thing I wish for the other half of staff they collaborate just alittle more so that the students are more confident about what they want to follow through when considering their degree! their career! Over all I am grateful that I was able to hold it all together being the first of 16 siblings to graduate and set the example for all of my family members. It has been and challenge. I want to continue to be that example .

All the professors I've had are extremely helpful. My academic advisor is friendly and proficient in helping me choose my classes. Registration and financial aid are easy processes! I can't wait to graduate and get a job with a company I'd love.
