Training students to think like scientists is the mission of Baylor Research.

We understand that science is not about content or a body of facts that explain the natural world, but instead is a process that we use to generate and confirm new knowledge. This principle of experiential learning guides Baylor Research and is most evident in our laboratory spaces.

Overview of Program

Molecular Methods and Engineering Design are the introductory courses for Baylor Research (See sample course progression here). Once complete, students may advance to Biomedical, Environmental, or Engineering Research. Successful students are considered for Advanced Research and Thesis in their selected field. Each year students highlight their work at the Science & Engineering Symposium. Students and faculty are recognized via their peer-reviewed presentation and publications.

Experienced Research Faculty & State-of-the Art Facilities

Students Mentored by Ph.D. Researchers
Successful in their own fields of study, Dr. Louie Elliott, Dr. R. Antonio Herrera, and Doctoral candidate Ben Holt are leading the way in developing curriculum and programs that will inspire the next generation of research scientists.

Technology’s Best Tools
The Weeks Science Building is supported with a $15 million endowment to ensure the most advanced program possible. Our facilities and research technology rival those found at leading universities.

Baylor's Campus, Wetlands & Tennessee River

Our river offers more than a beautiful view. A diverse, aquatic environment provides a natural laboratory for student research at all levels.
