Caring Christian Community: A Place for Everyone
At Baylor, we seek to provide students with the opportunity to interact and dialogue with individuals from different backgrounds and diverse experiences. Through our residential communities, organizations, activities and classrooms, we hope to prepare our students for meaningful engagement in a global society.
Cultivating Global Leaders
Baylor staff and faculty are dedicated to supporting the University’s mission of educating men and women for worldwide leadership. Through a diverse range of academic programs and courses, we cultivate global leaders who embrace new perspectives, worldviews and frameworks of thinking.
Baylor currently has over 40 academic/professional, religious, Greek and special interest multicultural organizations.
Multicultural Affairs helps all students on their journey to self-awareness. The department assists students in learning about the many cultures represented on campus, as well as explore opportunities to dialogue across differences.
The Center of Global Engagement works with individuals and groups throughout campus to explore the world through International travel, research, and study. Our hope is to develop greater cultural competency and understanding that supports an increasingly diverse campus community.
The International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) Office provides guidance and support to those at Baylor who have an F-1 or J-1 visa, helping them with their initial transition to Baylor and their connection to the Baylor experience.
