\"Baylor<\/p>\n

If you want to reach students, you can’t be afraid to try new things. Baylor has struck an incredible balance of holding on to what’s most important (our faith<\/a>, incredible student experience<\/a>, etc.) while growing and improving across the board (Exhibit A: R1 status<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Higher ed leaders across the country are noticing Baylor’s efforts — and that shows up in lists like U.S. News<\/em>‘ “Most Innovative Schools,”<\/a> where Baylor ranks among the nation’s top 40 national universities. That puts Baylor well inside the top 10% nationally when it comes to innovation.<\/p>\n

To create this list, U.S. News<\/em> asked college presidents, provosts and admissions deans to name the schools they believe are making the most innovative improvements in terms of curriculum, faculty, students, campus life, technology, and\/or facilities — “schools that the public should be watching,” as U.S. News<\/em> has explained it.<\/p>\n

The honor joins an ever-growing list of national accolades that address many aspects of Baylor:<\/p>\n
