Results The average SAT score of entering freshmen has improved from 1160 in 1995 to 1196 in 2005, and the fall 2006 freshman class is on target to achieve an average SAT score of 1211. Minority enrollment as a percentage of the overall undergraduate student population has increased from 20.8 percent in 1995 to 27 percent in 2005. Baylor's fall 2005 freshman class was the most diverse in the University's history with a minority enrollment of 30.6 percent.

Here is more evidence of Baylor's top-ranked status. While we are the only private university in the Big 12 Conference, Baylor steps up to the plate with NCAA intercollegiate athletics in 18 sports for men and women. In 2005-06, a school-record 13 teams advanced to postseason competition while eight teams finished the year ranked in the Top 20 nationally. Men's and women's tennis both captured Big 12 regular season championships with the women adding a tournament title. Freshman Jacob Norman won the NCAA championship in the 60 meters. Baylor recorded its second-highest finish ever in the NACDA Directors' Cup standings and recorded back-to-back top 35 finishes for the first time in school history.

Baylor is 78th out of 248 top national doctoral-granting universities included in the U.S. News & World Report's 2006 Best Colleges survey. Baylor also is listed in 2006 edi- tions of The Princeton Review's Best 361 Colleges and The Fiske Guide to Colleges.

With the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching revising its widely-used classification system, Baylor University has progressed to "research university" status with "high research activity."

The Carnegie Foundation developed three new categories of doctorate-granting institutions: research universities with "very high" research activity, research universities with "high" research activities, and doctoral/research universities. The new classification moves Baylor into a category with such universities as Auburn, Boston College, Brigham Young, Clemson, Georgetown, Temple, Texas Tech, Nevada, Oklahoma and Wake Forest. Substantial research institutions, such as Cal Berkeley, Harvard, the University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M, are included in the "very high" research category.

The Institute of International Education (based on 2002-03 year) lists Baylor as one of the top doctoral institutions for the number of students participating in international studies. And, an Intel Corp. survey placed the University at No. 32 among 100 universities named as a "most unwired" campus.

n keeping with its high expectations for competitive success and integrity I throughout its program, the Baylor athletic department has established a five- year development campaign to achieve the financial support necessary to accom- plish the goals outlined in its five-year strategic plan, "Above and Beyond." The "Victory With Integrity" campaign, approved Feb. 4, 2005, by resolution of the school's Board of Regents, seeks to raise $90 million in private gift support for Baylor Athletics over the next five years.

“This campaign is an outgrowth of our strategic plan and consistent with our goals of providing a high quality student-athlete experience and achieving competitive success in all sports," Director of Athletics Ian McCaw said.

Through strategic planning, the department identified key actions which will heighten the spiritual, physical, competitive and social environment thereby enhancing the student-athlete experience and providing support for successful performances in the classroom and in competition. This campaign will advance Baylor toward a successful future by addressing needs in three critical areas: capital, endowment and annual. All gifts and pledges to Baylor Athletics during the “Baylor Athletics is enjoying great momentum resulting from our outstand- campaign period will be included in the overall goal with the majority of funds ing coaching leadership and the accomplishments of our teams and stu- raised being utilized for capital projects outlined in the department's strategic plan dent-athletes. We look forward to this campaign drawing together the and to grow the athletic endowment. entire Baylor family in support of the athletic program and building a bright future of unprecedented success." While Baylor enjoys several high quality intercollegiate athletic facilities, several -Director of Athletics Ian McCaw important projects were identified during the strategic planning process that would ensure the school remains competitive both within the Big 12 Conference and nationally. Many of these projects have already been completed or are near completion, including the Lt. Jack Whetsel Jr. Basketball Practice Facility, the Willis Family Equestrian Facility and further improvements to Floyd Casey Stadium and Grant Teaff Plaza. The department also envisions an indoor tennis and multi-purpose facility, an on-campus track facility and an on-campus football training facility. These enhancements will provide Baylor teams with nationally competitive, championship caliber facilities for years to come.

The current athletic endowment of $19.7 million provides a base level of athletic financial aid support for student-athlete scholarships. However, the annual return from these funds provides only a small fraction of the scholarship costs for Baylor's 18-sport intercollegiate athletic program. Recent analyses have deter- mined that it would take approximately $50 million to endow the cash (non- tuition) portion of Baylor's athletic scholarships including room, board, books and 2005 COLLEGE WORLD SERIIES fees for student-athletes. By securing additional endowment funding, the cash expenses related to student-athletes scholarship would be underwritten."

Men’s and women’s tennis both captured Big 12 regular season championships with the women adding a tournament title.

Baylor recorded its six America East conference titles in 2001-2002, and five teams finished among the nation's second-highest finish ever in the NACDA Directors’ Cup standings ranking 32nd nationally top 20. In all, nine different programs captured at least one conference title during McCaw’s and fifth in the Big 12. tenure and five earned at least one NCAA bid.

A five-year strategic plan for intercollegiate athletics, Above and Beyond, was developed and implemented inclusive of department goals and objectives. An outgrowth of this plan was the creation of the five-year, $90 million development campaign Victory with Integrity which was initiated in February 2005. Improved athletic development success has followed leading to the funding and completion of the Grant Teaff and Letterwinners Plazas at Floyd Casey Stadium; the Lt. Jack Whetsel Jr. Basketball Practice Facility; the Willis Family Equestrian Center; and numerous other projects. The athletic endowment has grown to $20 million while the Baylor Bear Foundation had its best year ever in 2005-06. Baylor successfully completed the NCAA certification process being cited as one of only two institutions in the certification program’s history to have no issues raised in its self-study. An expanded compliance staff, improved financial services area and enhanced Student Athlete Services/Life Skills unit are among the most significant internal improvements. Record revenues in ticket sales, corporate sponsorship, television, licensing and expanded media exposure underscore the growth in external support for Baylor Athletics. McCaw is Baylor’s 12th athletic director and arrived from the University of Massachusetts, where he spent the previous year as director of athletics. McCaw was responsible for a 23- sport program and helped develop and implement a five-year strategic plan for UMass athletics. McCaw oversaw a $2 million renovation of the men’s and women’s basketball and ice hockey locker room facilities at Massachusetts. In McCaw’s one season in Amherst, UMass captured Atlantic 10 championships in men’s soccer, men’s swimming and softball. The NCAA graduation rate for UMass student-athletes was 71 percent, 12 points higher than that of the school's general student population. McCaw previously served as director of intercollegiate athletics and campus recreation at Northeastern University from 1997-2002. He implemented a five-year strategic plan for Northeastern athletics inclusive of department goals and objectives. Northeastern graduated 65 percent of its student-athletes during McCaw’s final year at the Boston institution, 14 points higher than the institutional average. Husky student-athletes also gave back to the community, as each team was required to participate in at least one community service project annually.
