Graduate School

Everything you need to know to plan your visit to Baylor's Spring 2025 Commencement.

As we celebrate Graduate Student Appreciation Week at Baylor, we are honoring more than 5,500 dedicated students shaping the university's future through teaching, research, and real-world impact, extending the Baylor legacy worldwide.

Baylor is launching a new Ph.D. program in Materials Science & Engineering by leveraging faculty strengths and societal needs, highlighting the university's commitment to collaborative, multidisciplinary approaches.

As an R1 Christian research university, Baylor is focused on the development of outstanding graduate students who will “fling their green and gold afar” with excellence in their chosen field. Embedded within the relationships between faculty and student is an aspect of stewardship, to help him or her succeed.

As an R1 institution, Baylor beckons top global graduate minds. Rooted in its Christian tradition and values, Baylor fosters a unique space for scholars to intertwine high-level research with faith exploration.

Baylor, a beacon of care and community, extends its Christian mission through genuine relationships and tailored services. Embracing growth, it now prioritizes diverse student needs in its expanding programs. 

Baylor is distinct as an R1 Christian research university—big enough to call elite national research universities as peers, but with a focus on faculty-student relationships that are a hallmark of the Baylor experience. Now, Baylor faculty are demonstrating the same level of care and availability to students wherever they are.

Over the last five years, Baylor's Graduate School has seen significant growth, attainment of R1 status, and a sustained investment in research expenditures—and the momentum is only beginning.
