Brothers and Sisters, It is my great joy to share with you about Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. I believe it is one of the most exciting places in the world to study.

Our passion is to take the gospel from Wake Forest, North Carolina to the ends of the earth. Our advanced degree students and graduates are actively serving the church and fulfilling the Great Commission. Whether in the academy, church ministry, or positions of leadership, they are pursuing the nations for the glory of King Jesus.

Southeastern’s charge remains the same until Christ’s mission is complete.

Approximately 480 students study in our advanced programs. The student has options from our Ph.D. to Ed.D. to D.Min. to Th.M. Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary became a reality on May 19, 1950, by a vote of the Southern Baptist Convention meeting in Chicago, IL. To house the seminary, the Convention purchased the campus of Wake Forest College in Wake Forest, NC, recognized then and now as one of the most beautiful in the southeastern United States.

It has been said that a call to ministry is a call to prepare. I agree. In fact, I would change the statement to, “A call to ministry is a call to keep on preparing.” Regardless of your role in God’s work, continued education can further equip you to reach an ever-changing world.

While the standard resident program remains the most favorable learning environment, several areas of study are offered in a modified residency format.

These areas of study allow students to remain in their current ministry assignment while engaging in Ph.D. studies. Students who choose the modified residency format enter the program as a community of scholars and normally remain together through a series of seminars that meet twice annually.
