Baylor Talent Identification Program

Baylor TIP at University of Dallas

The Baylor Talent Identification Program (TIP) at the University of Dallas is a collaborative initiative committed to identifying, challenging, and nurturing gifted and advanced pre-collegiate learners through rigorous academic enrichment grounded in the liberal arts and sciences. This partnership unites two institutions with a shared dedication to academic excellence, the cultivation of intellectual and moral virtue, and the formation of young minds for lives of inquiry, leadership, and meaningful service.

Aligned with the University of Dallas’s commitment to the development of the whole person, mind, heart, and character, Baylor TIP at UD provides exceptional students with opportunities to explore advanced content in STEM and the humanities through hands-on, inquiry-based, and active learning experiences. Each course is designed to deepen subject knowledge while fostering creativity, critical thinking, and a love of learning. At the heart of this effort is the belief that students flourish when they feel they belong, are mentored, and are challenged within a caring and principled environment.
