I am Catholic, and I am planning to either at Texas State or Baylor. I realized that it’s a Baptist University, do you have to be baptist? I want to study Education there.

No you don’t. That would be discriminating someone over religion.
No, you don’t have to be Baptist. They do ask you on the application though what religion you are. I am currently going to Baylor and did not select Baptist, so yeah.. it’s not an issue.
You don’t have to be Baptist to attend Baylor. I currently attend the school, and there are different people from many different religions or even no religion. Baylor is very liberal for being a Baptist school!
I go to Baylor too, and you definitely do not have to be Baptist to go here. However, they are more religious than most schools their size, so keep that in mind. They’re not overly religious like Oral Roberts or Bob Jones, but you will have required religion courses (very non-denominational, more like a history course than anything) and chapel, which has people, pastors, musicians, and performers from many different Christian religions. So, if you are completely against being affected by religions other than your own then you might not find it the right fit. All that is usually over by your second year though, and after that it’s mostly that there isn’t as big of a party scene here as there are at other schools and it is a dry campus with “visiting hours” for members of the opposite sex in on-campus housing (they’re not too bad though, strict dorms end at 10:00 pm and the less strict ones go til 2:00 am).
The best advice I can give is to check out the school for yourself and see, but it’s a great school and I have friends here who are Catholic, Hindu, Baptist, Atheist and everything else.
