The College of Arts & Sciences

The Baylor College of Arts & Sciences is the largest academic unit at Baylor: offering the university core curriculum for all undergraduates, a leader moving Baylor to recognition as an R1 institution through its nationally funded research grants and doctoral production, and integrating programming across the arts and humanities, as well as the social, physical and natural sciences.

Accelerate

The College of Arts and Sciences is driven by its mission: to nourish students' individual lives, fostering their development as imaginative, engaged leaders who will use their skills and character to address the needs and challenges of the larger world.

For this mission to succeed, A&S 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.

Student Scholarships

Few gifts more directly impact the life of a Baylor University student than a scholarship. These gifts open doors for students and fuel the school’s growth, innovation and opportunities.

Faculty Funding

Giving to enhance research and scholarly achievement enables the Honors College to attract and retain outstanding faculty members. Endowment support in the form of endowed chairs and professorships gives the Honors College dependable, enduring funding to grow the quality of the scholar-teachers at the heart of students' learning.

Dean’s Excellence Fund

The Dean’s Excellence Fund helps the Honors College to anticipate and respond to the many needs that arise throughout an academic year. The fund’s flexible use format provides resources that can be used to quickly address emerging needs that are important to the success of the Honors College and its students.

Program Resourcing

Giving to support student success programs, hands-on learning and internship experiences, study abroad, and mission trip opportunities provides flexible resources to meet needs as they arise.
