UNSC Application for Current Baylor Students

Students currently enrolled at Baylor who are in their freshman or, in rare circumstances, sophomore year can apply to change their major to University Scholars provided they have at least 90 hours remaining to complete their undergraduate degree at Baylor.  All University Scholars are required to complete at least 90 hours as a student within the program. 

In order to apply, students must submit answers to four essay questions, a short list of their academic areas of interest, and one letter of recommendation from a current professor to University_Scholars@baylor.edu. For more information, please view the UNSC Application Instructions for Current Students.

Applications will be reviewed after final grades have been submitted for the semester.
