More Baylor graduates than ever before — nearly 9 in 10 — are finding jobs or starting a graduate school program after their time at Baylor is through. In 2016, Baylor set a new record for undergraduate placement rate — for the fourth year in a row. (Placement rate is simply the percentage of students […]
The first indication a visitor receives that Baylor’s Armstrong Browning Library is a special place is the entrance. Bronze doors, each weighing nearly a ton, open slowly as they dramatically reveal what’s inside — and what’s inside is not only one of the most beautiful facilities on the Baylor campus, but one of the most […]
For more than 170 years, Baylor has focused on two founding principles: outstanding academics, and Christian commitment. Countless outstanding people — professors, students, staff and others — have played important roles in helping the university stick to its mission for so long, while so many other schools have wandered away from their faith. Almost 20 years ago, university leaders […]
Baylor is now in Louisiana and South Texas! Last month, the university officially signed agreements launching two new programs — an exchange program with Xavier University of Louisiana (XULA), and a Baylor Bound transfer agreement with South Texas College — that will create new opportunities for students. Baylor and XULA’s new domestic exchange program was created with educational and cultural […]
Thanks to “Fixer Upper,” the Baylor family is more familiar with home renovation than ever. And now, thanks to a gift from the McLane family, Baylor nursing is preparing to renovate its new home. In 2014, Baylor reached an agreement with the Baptist General Convention of Texas to purchase the facility formerly known as “the Baptist […]
When U.S. News released its latest ranking of national universities yesterday, the headlines around Texas didn’t focus on Baylor’s individual rank (although at No. 71, it matched the university’s highest ranking ever). No, the headlines from outlets like the Texas Tribune noted that, after years of steady movement, Baylor passed Texas A&M to become the No. 4-ranked […]
A new school year means the start of a new era for the Hankamer/Cashion complex and Penland Hall, which both reopened for the 2016-17 school year to rave reviews after spending the past year undergoing massive makeovers. New labs and academic units at Hankamer/Cashion and updated residential units, community kitchens and more at Penland were […]
It’s amazing to think that it’s only been in the last 20 years or so that Baylor has begun to really utilize the campus’ unique riverfront setting. The push that began with Baylor Ballpark and the rest of the Turner Riverfront Athletic Complex in 1999 has been followed by the Umphrey Law Center in 2001, Mayborn Museum Complex in 2004, […]
It seems only natural now that Baylor University would have a diverse and service-minded seminary that educates future ministers to impact the world around them. But, for almost a century, the dream of a Baylor seminary was just that — a dream. Thankfully, that all changed 25 years ago, as the vision for a Baylor seminary took […]
The Hankamer name means business here at Baylor, and has for more than five decades. Fifty-five years ago this month — Nov. 12, 1960 — the cornerstone was laid for the Hankamer Building at the corner of 5th Street and Speight Avenue. When the building was completed six months later, it would house the first of generations of […]
