Baylor offers students a vibrant campus community to live and study in and a faculty group committed to providing high-quality teaching and scholarships.
Baylor University is an R1 research university. This implies that students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels get to work alongside researchers who are engaged in the pursuit of fresh knowledge and actively seeking to address some of the most meaningful challenges around the globe. This high-calibre interdisciplinary research elevates classroom teaching through insights that help students view theories and ideas from a practical perspective, as concepts that can be applied to solve problems and broaden understanding.
Baylor also prepares students for life in the real world outside the classroom by providing them the opportunity to participate in academic and cultural activities such as academic-focused travel opportunities and on-campus events that expand their horizons. These go a long way in equipping students with the right attitude for service and leadership.

Richa Sirohi, recently recognised as the Young Alum of the Year at Baylor University, never expected a career at NASA during her time growing up in Nebraska. Yet from her beginnings as the daughter of immigrants from northern India, Sirohi always demonstrated a keen interest in technology and space.
After coming to Baylor to complete a major in mechanical engineering, she secured a summer internship at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Soon moving onto a full-time job there, today she works as an end-to-end systems engineer, focusing on NISAR – a specialised spacecraft that helps build understanding of how the Earth is changing through radar imaging.
It’s not only her professional success that has earned Sirohi the Young Alumna of the Year award, but her continued investment in supporting and inspiring other students – not only at Baylor, but at other institutions across the US.
“As a woman in STEM ... in a male-dominated field that doesn’t have a lot of South Asian-Americans, especially in aerospace, I’ve reached a point where you can see yourself in me. You can achieve these things, and there is support for you.” – Richa Sirohi
