East Texas Baptist University or ETBU is a private, coeducational Christian university in Marshall, Texas associated with the Baptist General Convention of Texas.
History[edit]
ETBU is located on the site of the former Van Zandt Plantation, which is the highest point in Harrison County. ETBU was founded as the College of Marshall in 1912, after a campaign to create a Southern Baptist college in East Texas. The campus' first building, Marshall Hall, was completed in 1916. It was designed to house a gymnasium, library, chapel/theatre, administrative offices and classrooms. The College of Marshall opened the following year in 1917 as a two year junior college and academy.
Faculty[edit]
The student to faculty ratio is 17:1[15][16] and the average class size is 22[15]. Seventy-five percent of full-time faculty members have earned doctorates or terminal degrees.
Accreditation[edit]
ETBU is fully accredited with Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. In 1957, ETBU became an accredited member of the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools[17]. The accreditation was last reaffirmed in 1998 with the next reaffirmation due in 2009. ETBU also is accredited by the The Board of Nurse Examiners for the State of Texas[18] for Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), the Commissions of Collegiate Nursing Education[19], and National Association of Schools of Music[20].
ETBU ranked twelfth among forty-eight schools in the category of Best Baccalaureate Colleges in the West Region in the U.S. News & World Report's publication "America's Best Colleges 2008".[15][3]
