In order to qualify for an I-20 from Baylor, international students must document the availability of funds for one academic year. The amount of money you must document covers the cost of tuition, fees, notebook computer, and living expenses for the first 9 or 12 months of your program. If you receive a graduate assistantship award, the amount of money you need to document is much less. To determine the exact amount of funds you must document for your program, contact the Office of International Student and Scholar Services
Baylor requires all international students and their dependents to have health insurance. The cost of health insurance is part of the funding you must document to obtain an I-20. To read about health insurance requirements, click here. Or, call the Health Center at (254) 710-1010.
Apply for the F-1 visa at the U.S. Consulate or Embassy using your Baylor I-20.
After you receive your I-20 to study at Baylor, notify both the Graduate Programs Office in the Business and the Office of International Students and Scholar Services.
Contact your academic advisor to review course options and degree requirements. Additional information about registration is available at: www.baylor.edu/mba/newregistration.
