Baylor University Online: Leadership and Service Preparation
Grounded in Baylor University’s 175-year history of academic excellence, our online offerings are an extension of the University mission: to educate the whole student for worldwide leadership and service by integrating academic excellence and Christian commitment in a caring community.
Baylor has been offering graduate degrees online since 2018, and our online learning platform exhibits the latest advances, proven methods, and best practices in the way students learn remotely. Our EdD, MPH, MSW, and CSD online programs provide a blend of collaborative online tools, real-world experience, and personalized support.
As the higher education landscape evolves, Baylor continues to remain a leader in the transformation of students into service-oriented leaders in both traditional and online learning environments.
Values-Driven, Online Learning
Continuing its legacy as an innovative institution of higher learning, Baylor remains a pioneering force, introducing programs that reflect emerging fields, relevant research, and growth potential for committed professionals. We take great care to ensure our online learning experiences maintain the connections, engagement, and spirited interactions that make Baylor such a vibrant place to learn.
Without exception, Baylor’s online experience delivers the same resources and depth of connection to our institution as our residential graduate programs. Designed and taught by award-winning Baylor faculty, each online program integrates engaging curricula, in-person experiences, and the latest in learning technology. Our digital campus serves as the central hub for communication, assignments, and support.

Participate in small, live classes that facilitate close collaboration and discussion.

Connect with peers and faculty through face-to-face HD video conferencing.

Organize and manage coursework, grades, and contacts through a customizable dashboard.

Customize the digital campus by switching to dark mode, adjusting video speeds, and searching transcripts.

Collaborate with peers and professors using social tools such as breakout rooms and real-time feedback.

Stay connected to your coursework through a mobile app or stream content to your TV.
Real-World Experiences
Real-world experiences are an important aspect of online programs at Baylor. These engaging, in-person requirements — such as on-campus immersions or in-field capstone projects — help students facilitate deeper connections to their professions, their peers, and the Baylor community at large.
During in-person experiences, students will engage in hands-on practice of new skills, gain valuable research and leadership experience, explore the Baylor campus or host cities, and gain valuable insights from diverse learning ecosystems.
Student Success and Career Services
From our faculty to our alumni and dedicated staff, Baylor is focused on the success and support of our students and graduates. Online students have access to personalized support and resources before enrollment, throughout the program, and after graduation.
Our comprehensive support services include
- application guidance from a dedicated counselor,
- academic advising from a personal advisor,
- career-building resources and mentoring from peers and faculty,
- one-on-one, face-to-face office hours with faculty.
At Baylor, our faith-based community is dedicated to helping our students fulfill their goals in their personal and professional growth and development. We are here every step of the way.
