Premedical Programs Preparing the leaders among tomorrow's physicians, Baylor University's Premedical Program is both dynamic and demanding. Because of a rich Christian heritage and because of an historical commitment to the private sector education of service-oriented professionals, Baylor University attracts highly motivated students who possess the ability to learn both in and out of the classroom. Challenged to grow intellectually, personally, emotionally, and spiritually, Baylor premedical students are nurtured in a caring environment.
