The Hankamer School of Business is the business school of Baylor University, the oldest continuously operating university in Texas, chartered in 1845. Named for alumnus and benefactor Earl Hankamer, the school offers AACSB-accredited undergraduate, MBA, specialized master's, and doctoral programs. It is best known for its nationally recognized accounting, entrepreneurship, finance, and supply chain programs, and for integrating Christian values and ethics into business education.
Hankamer students benefit from small class sizes, close faculty mentorship, and a tight-knit, spirit-driven culture centered on Baylor's Waco campus along the Brazos River. Distinctive strengths include the Baylor Business Fellows program, the Baylor Angel Network and Baylor Entrepreneurship programs, the Business Career Center, and the Cameron Investment Management program. The school's modern facility, Foster Campus for Business and Innovation, provides collaborative learning space, and the student experience is shaped by Baylor's Big 12 athletics, Greek life, and service-oriented traditions.
