Why University Scholars?
The University Scholars B.A. degree allows high-ability students to chart their personalized educational journey in close consultation with faculty advisers and mentors. In lieu of traditional major requirements, UNSC students work with advisors and mentors in their chosen fields to craft an individualized degree plan and optimize their academic experience. The UNSC major fosters a love of inter/transdisciplinary discourse in the Liberal Arts and Sciences that affirms the student’s unlimited potential in the rich academic and co-curricular offerings of Baylor University. University Scholars form lasting friendships through their living and learning communities on campus, their disciplines of study, and their interests outside the classroom. Students receive an outstanding education that can position them for success in any field; UNSC graduates are uniquely prepared for graduate school, medical school, law school, and careers across the spectrum of possibilities.
