When others hear of students going to Baylor, the first question asked is often, “Are you going to be a doctor?” But what many fail to realize is that the university has much more to offer and Baylor students go into a variety of fields besides pre-med.

Of 3,259 first-time freshmen who set foot on campus in the fall 2010 semester, 476 opted not to return for their sophomore year, according to Baylor’s Office of Institutional Research and Testing. While some assume students leave because their scholarship packages fail to keep up with rising tuition costs, data compiled by the office of the provost indicate people leave for a variety of reasons, some of which supersede or exacerbate financial difficulties.

While eyes have been on redshirt senior wide receiver Josh Cameron leading the group and sixth-year Ashtyn Hawkins getting his final year of eligibility, head coach Dave Aranda and receiving coach Dallas Baker have been building up the receiver core with multiple transfers.
