How to Apply

Choosing to pursue college credit at Baylor during high school is a tremendous undertaking. The Baylor Accelerate pre-college program is meant for students who are prepared to be challenged, stretched and ready to excel. When a student completes the Baylor Accelerate pre-college program successfully, it demonstrates their ability to perform in college-level courses and gives them an opportunity to earn conditional acceptance into Baylor.* Baylor faculty will instruct each class in a friendly and flexible environment.

Steps to Enroll

  • Talk to your high school counselor about your interest in and eligibility for the program.
  • Complete your online application for admission.
  • Create a goBAYLOR account and choose Undergraduate Student.
  • Select “Start New Application,” then “Accelerate 2025” and apply for admission to Baylor. 
  • Submit transcripts with ALL high school semesters of work you’ve completed.
  • Once you’re accepted, pay your deposit!
  • Follow the steps in your enrollment guide in your goBAYLOR account.
