BM in Performance
University of Mary Hardin-Baylor — Belton, TX
About this program
The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor is a private Baptist university founded in 1845, located in Belton, Texas — approximately 65 miles north of Austin and 45 miles south of Waco in central Texas. About 4,500 students are enrolled. The College of Visual and Performing Arts houses the Art Department and the Music Department, the latter of which also includes theatre performance programmes for music students. UMHB is a fully undergraduate institution in music — there are no graduate music students, which means students from the first year onwards access lead roles in operas and musical theatre productions, solos in choir and ensembles, and individual faculty attention without graduate student competition. The Sue & Frank Mayborn Performing Arts Center houses the Baugh Performance Hall (524-seat proscenium theatre with orchestra pit), the Fikes Chamber Hall (intimate flexible-seating recital space), and the Paul & Jane Meyer Rehearsal Hall (dimensions mirroring the Baugh stage for production rehearsals). The Concert Choir has performed at Carnegie Hall. UMHB's Opera/Musical Theatre Ensemble presents two fully staged productions per year plus community outreach, and is open to all UMHB students regardless of major. Tuition: approximately $37,000/year (confirm current rate at umhb.edu).
