• Baylor named among nation’s top 10 schools on both Facebook and Twitter

    A recent study named the top 50 American colleges and universities on Facebook and Twitter. Only four schools cracked the top 10 on both platforms: Florida, Wisconsin, Texas A&M… and Baylor.

    The evaluation, based on how engaged a school’s followers are and how responsive the university is to those followers, placed Baylor at No. 4 in the nation on Facebook and No. 8 nationally on Twitter.

    Baylor’s top-10 status on both platforms puts the university alongside some pretty big names. For context, USC and Wake Forest were the only other private schools to even crack the top 25 in both categories. The other schools in the top 10 average almost 34,000 students — more than twice Baylor’s size.

    Yet, here Baylor stands — with 152,000+ followers on Facebook, 45,000+ on Twitter, 52,000+ on Instagram, even 7,000+ on Pinterest. Part of that can be attributed to Baylor posting interesting, useful information, photos and videos on a regular basis across each platform.

    But perhaps a larger piece of the credit goes to you — Baylor Nation — for wanting to follow, like, share, comment and otherwise remain engaged with Baylor via social media. Some of you are prospective students considering Baylor for college; others are current students and alumni; many more are parents, faculty, staff and other friends of the university. But regardless of our status, we all share this one thing in common: a love for Baylor and the Baylor family.

    Thanks for joining us and sharing your Baylor pride!

    Sic ’em, Bears on social media!
