Honors College
The Honors College brings together a community of students and faculty devoted to the love of learning, the cultivation of wonder, and the pursuit of life’s most important questions both in and beyond the classroom. It unites four innovative interdisciplinary undergraduate programs: the Honors Program, University Scholars, Baylor Interdisciplinary Core, and Great Texts. Each is committed to exploring questions that cross the boundaries of specialized disciplines, engaging with the writings of scientists alongside poets, historians, and philosophers.
Baylor University’s Honors College is driven by its mission: to prepare bright students to think critically and unite well-formed Christian faith and intellect in pursuit of their callings.
For this mission to succeed, the Honors College relies on the Baylor Family’s support of the Core Four — the foundational funding areas that strengthen this work: scholarships, faculty funding, flexible excellence resources and program resourcing.
Vision for the Future
Dean Douglas Henry, Ph.D., strives to grow the College’s endowment and support programs through current gifts that will foster our transformative academic community of teaching and learning. Serving 1,400 undergraduates in more than 90 majors, the Honors College equips bright students to think critically and unite a well-formed Christian faith with intellect as they pursue their callings.
