“IWP and Baylor are both devoted to the cultivation of the mind and to forming students who will excel in all of their endeavors. IWP’s training in international affairs will nicely complement the liberal education that our political science students obtain at Baylor. We look forward to seeing graduates of our associated programs flourish as leaders in the important work of statecraft and international affairs.”
– David Clinton, Ph.D., Chair of Political Science at Baylor
