The cost of studying at Baylor University varies largely depending on the type of university and the degree chosen. More often than not, humanities, arts, and education courses are less expensive than degrees in medical, engineering, or management. Furthermore, students who choose to study at the postgraduate level typically pay higher tuition fees, which again vary depending on the programme chosen. 

Most universities provide scholarships or financial aid to students in order to help them offset their tuition costs. Students should be aware that additional course fees and incidental expenses may not be included in tuition. On average, international students can expect to pay $54,844 annually, to study in Baylor University.

Graduates of the Astronomy program often further their studies in astronomy or physics through graduate school. Others find career opportunities through technology, medicine, education, law, finance, industry, government agencies, research firms and observatories.
