Integration of Faith into Scholarship & Teaching
The Graduate School sponsors several programs to help students integrate faith with their scholarship and teaching.
Conyers Scholars Program
The Conyers Graduate Scholars Program is an intensive program for Baylor doctoral students sponsored by the Graduate School and the Institute for Faith and Learning. It encourages and supports doctoral students who are interested in questions regarding faith, learning, vocation, and the university.
BCU Scholars Program
The BCU Scholars program strengthens ties among IABCU member schools, mentors developing scholars with Baptist academic roots, builds Baptist academic networks for graduate students, and connects Baptist Colleges and Universities seeking future faculty well-grounded in the Baptist academic world with bright Baptist-educated doctoral students.
The Baptist Scholars International Roundtable
Formerly known as Young Scholars in the Baptist Academy, the BSIR promotes scholarship from Baptist perspectives across the ages and around the globe by facilitating a scholarly forum for exchange of ideas. This community is international, intergenerational, interdisciplinary, and invites a diversity of Baptist affiliations. At the heart of the Roundtable is formation for academic stewardship in which a newer generation is welcomed into an international Baptist Academy and formed to preserve and sustain both academic and faith communities. At annual meetings, hosted at Regents Park College, Oxford England, senior scholars (BSIR Fellows) and a Visiting Fellow engage with the developing ideas of doctoral students, early –career and mid-career faculty (BSIR Scholars) presenting papers selected through a competitive process.
Ramm Graduate Scholars Program
The Ramm Graduate Scholars Program is a cross-disciplinary program for doctoral STEM students and M.Div. students sponsored by the Graduate School and Truett Theological Seminary. It encourages and supports students who are interested in the engagement between Christianity and science.
Informal Studies and Lunches
The Graduate Student Association partners with Spiritual Life and UNITE Intervarsity to offer weekly Bible studies and monthly graduate community lunches for students.
