    Looking for one of the top college experiences in the nation? Then you’ve come to the right place.

    Looking for a great education? Baylor ranks among the:

    • Top 20% of national universities — U.S. News
    • Top 10 nationally in Fulbright qualifiers — U.S. Department of State
    • Top 40 nationally for best undergrad teaching & research — U.S. News
    • Top 40 nationally for “Most Innovative Schools” — U.S. News

    Looking beyond the classroom, to the student experience?

    • No. 4 nationally for First-Year Experience — U.S. News
    • No. 9 for best “learning communities” — U.S. News
    • One of America’s most beautiful college campuses — multiple outlets

    Looking for great outcomes after graduation?

    • 92% placement rate for recent graduates (finding jobs in their fields of study)
    • 94% success rate for recent graduates (jobs, internships & grad school)
    • Top 75 among “Best Colleges for Future Leaders” — TIME

    We know that rankings aren’t everything — you can’t really put a number on Baylor’s Christian faith, for instance — but they are one valuable way of comparing schools, and Baylor’s growing prestige means something to both prospective students and graduates with “Baylor” on their resumes.

    Sic ’em, Bears!
