Currently the campus at Wayland Baptist University is at full capacity and no space available for new programs or services.

Wayland Baptist University’s San Antonio campus needs to expand its facilities to meet the growing educational needs of South Texas.

Wayland has added five traditional degree programs and four master’s degree programs since 2001. The graduates from these programs are helping meet critical shortages primarily in nursing and education.  Additional space is needed to expand the capacity in these degree programs.

Wayland’s classrooms are full, and our ability to add new programs, faculty and classroom space is seriously limited. In order to keep up with increasing demand we must ensure the door for opportunity is open for students who are looking to Wayland to meet their needs.

Estimates show that 80% of San Antonio's workforce is without a four -year university degree. Our families are earning less per capita than in similar metropolitan areas often due to the lack of opportunity for an affordable college degree program.

Wayland Baptist University addresses this need every day with programs designed for working adults and military families.

Growth at Wayland’s campus has been steady since its formation in 1984, and enrollment now tops 1,500 students. This success is due to keeping costs low, providing personal attention and quality in the classroom.

Wayland is set to meet this need.

Wayland Baptist University – San Antonio proposes to construct a 65,000 square-foot facility at its campus located at IH 35 North and O’Connor. The capital campaign goal is $6 million, with an $8 million challenge goal.

The oldest university in continuous existence on the High Plains of Texas,  Wayland Baptist University began as the dream of pioneers who respected the life-altering value of education. In 1908 Wayland Literary and Technical Institute opened its doors with a gift from Dr. and Mrs. James Henry Wayland offered $10,000 and 25 acres of land.

By 2000, system-wide enrollment exceeded 6,000, making Wayland the third-largest Baptist University in the United States. To date, system-wide enrollment is approaching 7,000 students. The Wayland system is comprised of the main campus in Plainview, Texas, twelve external  campuses, and an operation in Nairobi, Kenya.

The San Antonio campus opened in 1984, moved into the current campus building in 2001 and is the largest of the WBU campuses. We currently offer seven undergraduate degrees and seven master degree programs in San Antonio and enrolled over 1,500 in fall 2007.
