Choosing a college can be one of the most important decisions in a person s life. The universities that students attend will train them for their future careers, give them the education they need to think critically and solve real-world problems, and connect them to a lifelong social network and community.

No wonder recent graduates of private nonprofit schools typically shoulder about $32,600 in student debt, according to Matt Carter of Credible.

WACO, Texas (May 10, 2021) – Baylor University today announced a new alternative to the traditional, on-campus freshman year, which offers incoming students a unique cross-cultural educational experience abroad while still earning credits and transfer admission to Baylor.
