WHY BAYLOR?


GENEROUS FINANCIAL SUPPORT

Nearly all incoming Ph.D. students receive full tuition remission, a 50% subsidy
in general student fees (starting fall 2020), a multi-year research or teaching
assistantship, annual travel funding, and an 80% subsidy for student health
insurance. Stipend levels are highly competitive, and with Waco’s low cost of
living, roughly two-thirds of Ph.D. graduates accrue no student loan debt during
their doctoral program.

Masters programs offer varying levels of support, ranging from a partial tuition
waiver to full tuition remission with a stipend.  Please contact your program of
interest for details. Professional programs typically do not provide funding
support.


STRONG RESEARCH SUPPORT

Graduate students are a key part of Baylor’s scholarly and research community,
producing nearly 800 professional presentations and over 600 research articles
per year. Their work is supported by a wide range of programs and opportunities
within their departments and across campus. The Graduate School provides
generous travel grants to help students present at professional conferences and
conduct dissertation research.

Baylor’s Graduate Research Center offers a place within our central libraries
specifically designed for graduate students. Our Graduate Writing
Center and Dissertation Writing Lab help with the variety of writing tasks
students undertake. And the Graduate School provides a select number of summer
dissertation fellowships for students in the final stages of their doctoral
degree.


COMMITTED PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT

Baylor alumni pursue a wide range of careers. More than 50% of PhD graduates
over the past five years are in fulltime faculty roles, with another 20% in
post-doctoral positions. The remaining 30% serve full-time in industry,
government, K-12 education, clinical practice, and the social sector. The
Graduate School’s professional development programs meet this variety by helping
students prepare for a wide range of career paths.

Our GPS and TeaCHE programs assist those planning for an academic career. We
collaborate with our Office of Career and Professional Development to help those
pursuing work outside the academy. For international students who are non-native
English speakers, we coordinate with Baylor’s Center for Global Engagement to
provide English language support.


HOLISTIC PERSONAL SUPPORT

A rigorous graduate education often brings a convergence of academic,
professional, and personal stress. In light of this reality, the Graduate School
offers programs and resources designed to help students thrive during their time
at Baylor. Our Graduate Student Association and Graduate Housing Community help
cultivate a sense of belonging and collegiality among students. The
Baylor Counseling Center has programs specifically designed for graduate
students. Our Conyers and Ramm Scholars programs provide opportunities for
students to explore the relationship between faith and research, while our Women
in the Academy Program helps women develop their identities as leaders,
scholars, and educators.  Lastly, our Childbirth and Adoption
Accommodation policy supports students who start families during their time at
Baylor.

LIVING IN WACO

WACO IS OVERFLOWING WITH TEXAS HISTORY, ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY, AND A RICH VARIETY
OF CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES.



A renaissance accelerated by Baylor University and Fixer Upper; a 1950s downtown
shattered by one of America’s most lethal tornadoes; post-Civil War estates and
an annual Cotton Palace Pageant; a rowdy cowtown where cattle drives gathered to
cross the Brazos river; a village of Huaco Indians:  Waco, Texas has a rich
history and a flourishing present.
