Grades 1-3: University for Young People

Since 1983, the University for Young People at Baylor University has served thousands of gifted students in the Waco community. As the reach of its exceptional summer and weekend programming has expanded with the creation of Baylor TIP in 2022, the UYP brand has been modified. UYP’s primary program for students in grades 1-3 is remaining essentially unchanged. Students in those grades will continue to be admitted without testing and without having to meet pre-determined admission requirements. Families who wish to have their students enrolled in a UYP class (grades 1-3) can simply register them to take it. Moving forward, the UYP brand will only be used for these younger students. Families with students in grades 4 and up can refer to the Baylor TIP website to learn more about the offerings for their students.

UYP Courses: Summer 2024 

Students entering Grades 1–3 can attend UYP and need not be formally identified as gifted to attend. They do not need to apply to participate in the program. 

UYP is over for the summer of 2024 and we sure enjoyed our time together! If you have questions or want to give us feedback, reach out to us at BaylorTIP@baylor.edu.
