Center for Global Engagement
Bringing the World to Baylor. Sending Baylor to the World.
The Center for Global Engagement seeks to coordinate and facilitate the efforts of individuals and groups throughout the campus to transform the world through international travel, research, and study, through the development of greater cultural competency and understanding, and through support for an increasingly diverse campus community.
Explore the world and gain invaluable opportunities to grow professionally and personally by immersing in different world cultures.
The International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) Office provides guidance and support to those at Baylor who have an F-1 visa or J-1 visa, helping them with their initial transition to Baylor and their connection to the Baylor experience.
Global Baylor recognizes that students who are both academically and cross-culturally prepared should be able to adapt and succeed in a diverse and multicultural world.
Our program provides a pathway for students who are fully qualified to enter Baylor University undergraduate programs but still need to improve their English.
Our mission is to create meaningful and sustainable partnerships with institutions around the world. We aim to provide our students, faculty, and staff with opportunities for academic exchange, research collaboration, cultural immersion, and international engagement that enrich their educational journey and contribute to global solutions.

Read More NewsA semester at Baylor’s Honors College is helping Daniela (Denise) Vasiliu, Ph.D., a Fulbright Visiting Scholar from Romania, bring new ideas about interdisciplinary education and Christian scholarship back to students in Eastern Europe.
Vasiliu came to Baylor this spring under the sponsorship of Associate Dean for Strategic Initiatives Scott Moore, Ph.D. During her time in Waco, she has spent her days reading, writing, and participating in the life of the Great Texts program while researching the thought of Iris Murdoch and the relationship between literature, philosophy, and theology.
Ask any international student what their dream travel destination in the U.S. is, and they will most likely say New York. For some students, this dream became a reality over spring break.
The International Student and Scholar Services team took international students to New York this spring break. The annual program, launched last year, consisted of visits to famous New York landmarks, such as the Statue of Liberty and Times Square, as well as cultural or historical activities around the city, including a tour of the United Nations Headquarters. Students were also given free time during afternoons to explore on their own.
