Graduate School

Baylor entered the ranks of R1 universities, pursuing research excellence while remaining grounded in its foundational Christian mission.

The Baylor Graduate School is excited to announce eight recent PhD graduates who will stay with Baylor over the course of this year to gain an extra year of teaching experience before entering the open job market.

Patrick Leech is a fourth-year Ph.D. Candidate in History and recently named Fulbright Scholar whose research on Hungarian refugee resettlement provides insights into understanding the development of a global refugee resettlement network and US immigration policies.

In libraries and laboratories, in archives and in the field, Baylor graduate students pursue scholarship and research that expand understanding, address complex problems, and advance the common good.

Rachel Abouras is a fifth-year Ph.D. Candidate in Higher Education Studies & Leadership. Rachel's research focuses on how the process of earning a college degree in prison shapes how a person views themselves in the future - especially how certain aspects of the college-in-prison experience may lead one to view their future self in a more positive, hopeful light.
