How to Apply

The Accelerate pre-college program is meant for students who are prepared to be challenged, stretched and ready to excel. When a student completes the 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.
