The Hankamer School of Business features high-quality faculty with diverse research interests spanning all facets of the business realm. As Baylor University transitions into a Research 1 (R1) institution, the Business School is in a prime position to conduct purposeful research that will make lasting changes to improve the lives of those in our community, nation and the world at large. The faculty and students at Hankamer have made significant contributions to Baylor’s promotion to R1 status through the years and will continue to do so. The Business School will further support our expert scholars to ensure we are efficient in the ways we deploy our resources will expand the scope of research conducted here.
We also strive to ensure students receive an impactful education while attending Baylor. One way we approach this is through experiential learning opportunities. Mission trips, study abroads and other global engagement activities offer students an international perspective that is crucial in today’s interconnected world. Connecting students to businesses and industry professionals allows the Business School to build more connections and bridge the gap between classroom lectures and real-world situations.
Diversity is an important concern at the Hankamer School of Business, which means both hiring and retaining faculty and staff as well as recruiting students that come from different backgrounds. Revelation 7:9 tells us that God’s Kingdom includes people “from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages,” so we should push to do our part to honor this at the Business School. We need to hear those voices that are often unheard or ignored and learn the ways we can be better, all while fostering a Christ-centered culture where all faculty, staff, students and alumni are welcomed and feel at home.
The Hankamer School of Business is building a culture of support for each other’s research and celebrating scholarly achievements. One way the Business School highlights purposeful research is through Innovative Business at Baylor profiles and features.
