The Online Learning Experience at Baylor University

The online graduate programs from Baylor carry on the University’s mission: to educate students for worldwide leadership and service by integrating academic excellence and Christian commitment in a caring community.

Through a blend of collaborative online tools, real-world experience, and personalized support, Baylor offers an engaged academic community of online learners the resources and depth of connection to our institution as our on-campus community while still offering the flexibility to accommodate a busy professional schedule.

Online Learning Tools

We take great efforts to ensure our online learning experiences maintain the connections, engagement, and spirited interactions that make Baylor such a vibrant place to learn. Online students attend live, webcam-enabled classes each week and complete coursework that facilitates face-to-face connections among peers, professors, and industry experts.

Just a few of the many factors that set apart learning online at Baylor:

Small live classes that facilitate close collaboration and discussion

Personal facetime with peers and faculty in and outside of class

A comprehensive coursework management platform available 24/7

Assignments built by experienced Baylor faculty and content developers

Social tools that facilitate deep peer-to-peer and professional relationships

A full-service mobile app for all coursework and academic planning

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 bring students’ new knowledge beyond the screen and facilitate deeper connections to both their peers and the Baylor community at large.

During these outings, 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.
