Academic Program Inventory
Baylor offers a wide variety of undergraduate and graduate programs in its twelve colleges and schools. Click below to view the official Academic Program Inventory. 

Academic Program Inventory

Secondary Majors
Secondary majors are similar to traditional majors in many respects, such as appearing on transcripts and requiring a set of proscribed courses but differ primarily in the fact that students taking a secondary major are not subject to the requirements of the Common Core.

Joint Undergraduate and Graduate Degrees
Many colleges and departments within Baylor University offer accelerated and/or joint combined degree programs, sometimes referred to as "4+1 programs." These programs allow a student to earn both a bachelor's and master's degree in five years rather than six. However, please note that gaining admission to a particular college within Baylor does not automatically guarantee your admission to its 4+1 program(s). In other words, you often must apply to them separately. Students typically start preparing for the 4+1 admissions process during their junior year of college
