Summer Prep

Small classes, big ideas. At Baylor's Summer Prep, learning takes on a whole new dimension. Forget rows of desks and lecture, lecture, lecture. Here the classes are interactive and the discussions are lively.

Looks like a vacation, feels like home. Our Summer Prep students – and our full-time ones – learn what it’s like to be “on their own” but never alone. You’ll settle in and share good times with new friends on a campus that looks more like a resort than a school.

Need to unwind with a little healthy competition? Get in the game with sports like soccer, basketball, tennis – even fencing. Hit the cross-country loop, or splash around our massive pool. Want more action? Our day trip excursions dare you to “See Rock City,” meet the alligators and sharks at the Tennessee Aquarium, or scream your head off rafting whitewater rapids.
