About
Baylor University stands as one of the premier institutions of higher education in the world. Chartered in 1845 by the Republic of Texas and affiliated with the Baptist General Convention of Texas, the University is the oldest continuously operating institution of higher learning in the State of Texas. As part of fulfilling Baylor's mission of instructing and educating men and women for worldwide leadership and service, Baylor pursues initiatives such as lower student-faculty ratio (14:1), smaller class size (average class size is 26), research opportunities for undergraduates, and great facilities for learning and living. Baylor's more than 16,000 students typically come from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and more than 86 countries around the world. The University offers 129 baccalaureate, 72 master's, 39 doctoral, 12 online graduate professional programs, and the juris doctor degree programs through 12 academic units. The University also equips students with both knowledge and experience to pursue God's call to ministry by offering 3 master degrees and 2 doctorate degrees through Truett Seminary. Additionally, the University conducts graduate programs with the U.S. Army at several U.S. Army locations across the United States. Students find the best of a large university through exceptional breadth and depth of programs along with extraordinary personal attention for the individual student. Baylor students garner competitive scholarships such as Fulbright, Truman, Goldwater, Rotary, Critical Language, and National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowships. Approximately 92% of Baylor undergraduate students receive financial assistance. Named by The Chronicle of Higher Education as a "Great College to Work For" for the past seven years, Baylor consistently ranks in the top 100 national doctoral granting universities by U.S. News & World Report, as a "Best Buy" by The Fiske Guide to Colleges, and a "Best Value" by Kiplinger's Personal Finance.
