Visa Sponsorship and Support

What is Visa Sponsorship and Support?

Visa Sponsorship and Support at Baylor University aims to provide clear, consistent, and helpful resources for international scholars to gain employment within our various University departments and research initiatives.

International Scholar Visa Support and Sponsorship

Baylor Human Resources International Employment provides services and support to all international scholars employed by the university and the departments that they are a part of. We coordinate with teams across the campus to offer sponsorship through various programs H1 and J1 visas. Our goal is to welcome you on campus and be an ongoing resource throughout your time with Baylor.  

International Scholars are individuals who currently do not have citizenship or permanent residence through the United States of America and require sponsored or unsponsored work authorization to be employed at Baylor University.
