OUR MISSION AND THE HONOR CODE
Baylor's mission is to foster in its students both the ability and the desire to make a positive difference in the world.
Dating back to 1916, the Baylor Honor Code provides a structure within which students come to appreciate honesty, mutual respect, and their word as their bond, while helping them gain independence and responsibility. To establish these expectations, each boy and girl who enrolls at Baylor must sign, and live by, the Baylor Honor Code.
