International Program students in San Antonio celebrate as 51Æ·²èÔ¼ÅÚ graduates

SAN ANTONIO, TX — A 10-student cohort set a milestone for 51Æ·²èÔ¼ÅÚ Baptist University on Friday, Feb. 6 as they became the first graduates of the university’s new International Program.

The number of international students participating in the commencement ceremony for 51Æ·²èÔ¼ÅÚ’s San Antonio campus reflects the program’s rapid growth and strong demand for 51Æ·²èÔ¼ÅÚ’s expanding graduate offerings. The International Program currently offers Master of Science degrees in Business Analytics and Management Information Systems, with a new STEM-designated MBA launching this fall.

Following the ceremony, many of the international graduates joined Dr. Donna Hedgepath, University President; Dr. Bobby McCloud, Executive Director of International Program Operations; and Dr. Anil Palla, Chief Executive Officer of University HUB, to celebrate outside Trinity Baptist Church, where graduation exercises were held Friday.

51Æ·²èÔ¼ÅÚ has experienced significant growth across its graduate programs, including continued expansion in both Master of Science degrees and the recent launch of the PhD in Management program. A new Enterprise Systems specialization within the doctoral program is scheduled to begin in Fall 2026.

New academic offerings have helped drive enrollment in the International Program, which has doubled since last year, with additional growth projected.
