Overview

Baylor University offers graduate degrees in five cities in Texas; Fairfield, California; Las Vegas, Nevada; Tacoma, Washington; and West Point, New York. The Waco campus offers thirty-two Doctor of Philosophy degrees, five doctoral-level professional degrees, twenty-two Master of Arts degrees, fifteen Master of Science degrees, twenty-one master’s-level professional degrees, and eleven joint degrees. Dallas, Texas is the site for the Doctor of Nursing Practice. The United States Army Medical Center of Excellence, located at Joint Base San Antonio – Fort Sam Houston, in San Antonio, Texas, offers two individual masters degrees (Nutrition, MHA), one joint degree (MBA/MHA), and two doctoral degrees (DNP, DPT). We also offer five doctorate degrees at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, two doctorate degrees at Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, Washington as well as William Beaumont Army Medical Center in El Paso, Texas. The Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center in Killeen, Texas; David Grant Medical Center, Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, California; Mike O’Callaghan Military Medical Center, Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas, Nevada; and the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York, each offer one doctoral degree.

The Graduate School encourages faculty to invest in the lives of gifted graduate students, equipping them to pass on a vision of inquiry, scholarship, teaching, and service. Students participate in classroom tutorial, collegial modes of learning, and in systematic independent inquiry, in a setting that allows them to see scholars at work as an important means of learning the scholar’s art.

Students may not pursue two or more graduate degrees concurrently unless the degrees are part of a University approved Dual Degree program. In Dual Degree programs, since both degrees are awarded simultaneously, all requirements in both programs must be completed in order to receive either degree. Additionally, the University offers accelerated bachelor's/master's programs.
