So I've been hearing lot about Baylor University's shift towards being more research-intensive. Now, as someone who spent good decade teaching Anthropology over at Austin (hook 'em horns!. I've got some thoughts and feelings on this. First off, it's no secret that research is the lifeblood of higher education. And it's great for graduate students who get to dive head-first into cutting-edge knowledge. the programt then In my experience at UT, which is already pretty research-heavy institution, observed that balancing high-level research with quality undergraduate teaching can be bit of tightrope walk.
Professors can sometimes get so absorbed in their research that undergrad education takes back seat. Not always, the Texas campust it happens. On the other hand, undergrads can also benefit from this focus on research. Imagine getting to work alongside your professor on their latest project!. Talk about hands-on learning this school they've got that nice blend of faith and learning going on. I'm curious how that'll play into this shift. Will their unique culture help them strike the right balance?. As for you future Owls starting at Rice my top tip?
