The Hurd Welcome Center serves as a launching point for campus tours, welcoming prospective students and families, alumni and guests to learn more about Baylor University. Our team is equipped to help make your experience in the Hurd Welcome Center and on campus meaningful.
Prospective Students
Prospective students are encouraged to make an advanced reservation for an official campus tour so that an experience can be curated for them to best fits each individual’s needs. Campus tours are available daily and may be reserved through our Campus Visits program. Tours begin at the Hurd Center and continue with a student-led tour across campus, into various buildings and even into McLane Stadium.

Alumni
Alumni returning to campus after many years or even five to 10 years may find new things to see and do on campus. They’ll also find new ways to connect with the University and with other alums in their area or with similar affinities across the country. When you arrive at the Hurd Welcome Center, please proceed to the McLane Family Alumni Center on the second floor and our Baylor Alumni team will welcome you with a cold Dr Pepper.
Campus Guests
Individuals, groups and other travelers who would like to see the Hurd Welcome Center are welcome to explore the experience columns in Carlton Hall, visit Varsity Coffee and Soda and shop in the Baylor Spirit Shop during operating hours. If you would like a tour of the facility or campus, please contact the Baylor Visit Experience Team at (254) 710-8687.
Self-Guided Tour
If you would like to explore campus on your own, our online campus map will help you plan your route. You’ll find the interactive map at map.baylor.edu. In the top left navigation, you’ll find a button for Tours. The Walking Tour takes you from the Hurd Welcome Center through the major facilities and into the heart of our historic campus. The map also designates visitor parking if driving from place to place is your preference.

McLane Stadium offers both public and private tours to introduce guests to the home of the Baylor Bears. Tickets for the 90-minute guided tour may be purchased here. For private tours, please call (254) 710-8069.
