What Is an ELG?

Remember all the times you were sitting in class in high school daydreaming about what college would be like?  This is it.  This is what you daydreamed about.  This is what makes college, well, college.

Engaged Learning Groups are a really unique way to get credit for a course you’ll have to take any way to graduate. 

• 25-40 students living and learning together
• Guaranteed place in Kokernot (a residence hall which was recently renovated in summer 2008 exclusively for ELG students)
• A challenging issue explored from disciplinary and/or interdisciplinary perspectives
• One-hour seminar for 3 semesters (with an option for a 4th semester), earning 3 hours of credit toward your degree. Some ELGs also offer an hour of credit for service learning.
• Three semesters of engaging assignments, unique co-curricular activities, an active social environment, and sustained interaction with Baylor faculty members
• A supportive community of peers, faculty members, and student life staff
