New Student Experience

Baylor cares about your transition into college. All incoming students are required to take a New Student Experience (NSE) course. NSE courses provide the opportunity for first-semester students to form meaningful connections with each other and with faculty in an academic community. NSE courses also introduce students to the key values of a liberal arts education including critical thinking, the integration of faith and learning, and social responsibility. NSE courses are designed to support your success by engaging you academically, socially, and spiritually in the earliest stages of your collegiate journey.
