Our International Year is the first year of your degree at Baylor University – but spent in the supportive environment of the International Study Center. Choose to study between 1-2 semesters, with additional time spent developing your English skills if necessary. Once you complete the progam, you’ll be ready to progress to your undergraduate degree at the University. 

Master's International Year

Study your Master's degree in the U.S in the same time it takes a direct admit student. Spend your first two semesters studying under expert and supportive staff at the International Study Center, earning 12 credits towards your degree, before completing your final two semesters at the University and graduating with a Master's of Engineering from Baylor.

English for University Studies

English for University (EUS) offers you the opportunity to be enrolled directly to Baylor University without taking an English entrance exam.

If you have not taken an English entrance exam or you do not meet the English language entry requirement for direct admission, you may enroll in EUS, an 8- or 12-week program that will help you improve your English skills. By successfully completing EUS, you will be guaranteed direct admission to Baylor.

EUS is a 25-hour-per-week program. 50% of your learning hours will be delivered through real-time lessons – with the remaining 50% accessible through pre-recorded lectures and interactive quizzes, group projects, presentations, writing practices, and more.
