Engaged Learning

Courses in this distribution list will “educate men and women for worldwide leadership and service” in keeping with the mission of Baylor University by helping students develop skills to orient and apply their classroom learning toward broader public goods. This will occur through learning that is active, experiential, often unscripted, and oriented toward the common good, allowing students to discover and apply knowledge in spaces beyond the traditional classroom.
