A humble college founded before Texas was a state, Baylor now stands as one of
the premier institutions of higher education in the world. Baylor has continued
to invest in research and doctoral education, both solidifying and elevating its
unique status as a preeminent Christian research university. Baylor is among 187
R1 institutions, just 52 of which are private universities.
Since 2011, Baylor has been named as one of the nation’s “Great Colleges to Work
For” [https://hr.web.baylor.edu/great-colleges-work]. Great Colleges to Work
For® is one of the country’s largest and most respected workplace recognition
programs. Each year, Great Colleges recognizes the colleges and universities
that get top employee ratings regarding workplace practices and policies across
10 areas. This recognition is based on faculty and staff responses to a related
annual survey. The survey, conducted by ModernThink, is a way for colleges and
universities to gain a deeper understanding of how their employees experience
and view various aspects of the institution. This continued recognition further
affirms Baylor as a rewarding place to build a career.
