Graduate Professional Education

Graduate Professional Education (GPE)
We believe everyone was put in this world for a reason. And those lucky enough to recognize their calling. Know that fulfilling it is a privilege. We believe that the passion that lives inside you should – and can - be put into practice. The greatest disservice is to leave it dormant. You shouldn’t stop chasing your dream until it’s caught, shaken awake, and made a reality.

As we work to grow the University’s portfolio of professional online and hybrid degree programs, GPE seeks to align with the University’s mission to educate men and women for worldwide leadership and service by integrating academic excellence and Christian commitment within a caring community. As a team, we are committed to furthering the Strategic Plan Commitments and Imperatives highlighted in Baylor in Deeds, the 2024-2030 Strategic Plan.
