The Ghana Baptist University College (GBUC), this year, admitted 405 new students to pursue various degree and diploma programmes.
These include theology and ministry, business, accounting, marketing, banking and finance, human resource management and entrepreneurship.
Professor Edwin Kwame Wiredu, Chairman of the Governing Council, speaking at the matriculation ceremony for the freshmen in Kumasi, underlined the need for them to remain focused and disciplined.
He said it should not be lost on them why they were in the university and must work hard on their books.
"You need to take advantage of the opportunity and make the most of it to realize your dreams," he noted.
Prof Wiredu advised the students to abide by the rules and regulations of the institution and avoid the temptation to cheat in examinations.
They should always channel their grievances to the authorities for redress.
The Reverend Dr Steve Asante, the Chancellor, advised the students to demonstrate good character traits.
