How an Online Degree Benefits You
It's 2025, and there's never been a better time to invest in yourself and your career. Baylor Graduate Professional Education (GPE) brings the world-class education you expect from an R1, Christian research institution right into your living room, allowing you to earn your advanced degree wherever you are in life.
Online and hybrid education meets students where they are. Unlike traditional on-ground programs, these online and hybrid programs are designed for students who are working full-time. Most of our programs can be completed 100% online—you may never even step foot on campus! (Although we always love when online students come to visit!) For programs that do have on-ground components, we make efficient use of your time, with compact on-campus immersive experiences that allow you to get the hands-on learning you need.
With all our programs, you can take the skills you're learning in the classroom and apply them to your professional life the very next day. Not only will most of our offerings allow you to work full-time and immediately start using your new skills, but in all of our programs you'll also be expanding your professional network with your new classmates.
Baylor Offerings: Supports Your Career Goals While Acknowledging Your Life
Many of our programs offer asynchronous instruction, so you can "attend class" at any time during the week. Whether you listen to a 50-minute lecture on your lunch break or take a mid-term at the kitchen table after dinner, you can earn your degree without upending your life. Imagine catching up on discussion boards while your coffee brews or get a jump on your to-do list by doing some course-related article reading while waiting for your kids at soccer practice!
With degrees across several major industries, you can elevate your career—from the emergency room to the board room! (We offer seven DNP variations and three MBA options with several concentrations) Visit our online catalog to view all our online and hybrid programs and find the best fit for you.

Online & Hybrid Learning Support at Baylor
New endeavors can be scary, especially when that endeavor is returning to school for your advanced degree. But Baylor has resources to help you succeed. While you may not be on campus for class every day, you'll still have an abundance of resources to aid you in your studies. The University Libraries have a large digital collection of study materials, and from accessible, caring professors, to supportive academic advisors, individual programs have their own support systems in place to make sure that you feel connected to your peers and to the University as a whole. No matter what program you choose, you'll have access to services such as the Baylor Career Center, and the Graduate Writing Center. At Baylor GPE, we believe in you, and in helping you reach your goals.
