Outstanding Faculty
Baylor’s Graduate Faculty in History is a uniquely distinctive community of scholars specializing in religious history. We understand the significant role played by faculty and especially the advisor in professional academic training. We engage students as junior colleagues, teaching students to follow in the Baylor tradition of excellent teaching and preparing students for success in research, writing, and publishing (academic as well as for the more general public). Faculty excellence in scholarship combined with our serious commitment to faith manifests in our focus on forming historians as whole people who live balanced lives and thoughtfully bring their own ethical commitments to their vocations.
