At Baylor, international students and scholars are an essential and valued part of the community. Students bring their culture, beliefs, and perspectives with them allowing our community to learn about and engage the world right here in Waco, Texas. We recognize that our international students have worked very hard to become members of the Baylor community, so we want them to know they are welcome and we want to do whatever we can to help them be successful! Baylor is a very special place where international students and scholars have been welcomed for many years! For more information about Baylor University, please click this link About Baylor.
