• Students also can pursue a combined MS and PhD in CSD.  Students who are interested in a combined degree should apply for the MS program first.  During the first semester of Master’s study, students can meet with faculty and participate in faculty research to identify an area of research focus and a potential doctoral mentor.  At the start of the second or third semester, if the student has a very strong academic record and a faculty member has agreed to become their PhD advisor, the student can apply to the PhD program.
• Students with a Bachelor’s degree and exceptional academic records and backgrounds may pursue a PhD in CSD.   These types of students who are admitted into the CSD PhD. program will be required to take additional prerequisite CSD core courses, which will be determined by the primary mentor and the CSD PhD admission committee.

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 $70,424 annually, to study in Baylor University.
