Core Curriculum
The College of Arts & Sciences core curriculum is the foundation for a degree from Baylor University, serving to educate men and women to become informed and productive citizens of a democracy and servant leaders of faith communities. For this reason, the College maintains a robust core curriculum across diverse academic disciplines such as the sciences, social sciences, humanities, and fine arts.
This core knowledge, rooted in essential texts, skills, and ideals, builds community, opens students' minds, and provides access to political and cultural influence.
The core curriculum is an essential element of Baylor University's transformational undergraduate education pillar and represents a significant portion of your chosen degree.
