Center for Global Engagement

Your first step is to attend a study abroad information session. Every student must attend an information session before submitting a study abroad application. 

Baylor's Global Friendship Program (GFP) connects international students with U.S. students and families who provide the supportive learning environment needed to explore and navigate American culture. Through a variety of programs designed to meet international and U.S. students needs and time constraints, Baylor's GFP makes the transition to university life in the United States smooth and rewarding while establishing relationships that last a lifetime.

This certificate program brings together students who already have an interest in global affairs and those who have not been exposed to cultures, languages, and issues outside of their own. Students will also be able to network and build a community with their fellow certificate students by attending different semester gatherings.

The Certificate is open to all Baylor University undergraduate students, in any major, and will incorporate a mixture of curricular and co-curricular requirements. When completing the certificate program, students will rise through three different levels of Global Engagement, from Entry through Exploration and finally to Engagement.
