| CAMPUS SUMMARY |
 |
As a selective Baptist university, Baylor University is committed to educating the whole student -- mind, body, and spirit. Each student enjoys the individual attention of a dedicated faculty, the options afforded by a comprehensive range of challenging academic programs, and a supportive environment that fosters intellectual, social, and spiritual growth. More than 160 years ago, Baylor University's Baptist founders sought to establish an institution of higher learning dedicated to Christian principles, superior academics, and a shared sense of community. Baylor is the largest Baptist university in the world. |

The university's 750-acre campus is located on the banks of the Brazos River in Waco, Texas, a metropolitan area of 200,000 people. Baylor's strong core curriculum is based on the liberal arts, crosses all majors, and emphasizes analytical skills and ethical practices. Its distinctive programs include the Baylor Interdisciplinary Core, University Scholars, and Honors Program.
Today the Baylor University's motto -- Pro Ecclesia, Pro Texana (translation being For Church, For State) -- remains the foundation of its mission. |
