JUDSON COLLEGE EXISTS TO EQUIP STUDENTS TO GIVE THEIR LIVES FOR THE CAUSE OF CHRIST IN THE CHURCH, AMONG THE NATIONS, AND IN EVERY ASPECT OF SOCIETY.
IN THE CHURCH
Answering God’s call to local church ministry requires preparation. We equip students to serve the local church by training them to teach God’s word, lead with integrity, and mobilize churches in greater faithfulness to Jesus and his mission.
AMONG THE NATIONS
Reaching the nations is all about Jesus. We equip students to walk closely with Jesus and to share him cross-culturally, evangelizing the lost, making disciples, and teaching God’s word wherever he sends them.
IN EVERY ASPECT OF SOCIETY Following Jesus makes our home, our work, and our city a mission field. We equip students biblically, theologically, and professionally to make disciples of King Jesus wherever they are called.
WHO WE ARE We believe there is no greater task to call students to than devoting their lives to Christ and his mission. Because Christ calls men and women to leverage their lives in a variety of ways to advance his kingdom, we equip students with a biblical worldview to make disciples in every career and in any context. As a school of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Judson College offers accredited four-year degrees that combine the best of a conservative biblical and theological education with professional training in a vibrant Christian community. Wherever you are called, Judson College has a degree that’s right for you.
Judson College is the undergraduate school of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Through Judson, Southeastern provides quality Christian education at the undergraduate level as part of its mission to equip students to serve the church and fulfill the Great Commission. Named after pioneering Baptist missionary Adoniram Judson, Judson College embodies the same Great Commission spirit that characterized Judson’s life-long ministry.

Shortly after his conversion, Adoniram Judson discerned his call to international missions alongside several of his classmates at seminary. At Judson College, we want you too to discern your calling and prepare for a lifetime of disciple making in a strong Christian community. Through the courses, relationships, and culture you experience here at Judson College, you will be well equipped to serve Jesus wherever he calls you. College was a pivotal time in my life. It was during those four years that I felt like my faith became my own as I experienced God drawing me towards his calling on my life. I am excited to be a part of equipping the next generation of leaders like you, and I am particularly excited about doing that at Judson College. We have a top-shelf curriculum, a world-class faculty, and godly leaders, and it is an honor to serve you and be a part of what is happening on this campus. So, as you discern your next steps, I encourage you to join us and experience what Judson College has to offer!

“My time here at Judson College taught me how to defend my faith and theology well, how to love others well as I seek to push them towards truth, and how to be confident in sharing the gospel with those who do not know Christ. At Judson College, I learned to read and interpret Scripture more faithfully, which has enabled me to teach others the truth of the Bible and how to interpret it. I have now been able to do these things with siblings, lost coworkers, and college and high school students outside of Judson.”

Rather than a physical space, a house is a community and culture made up of the people within it. Once accepted into Judson, a student is sorted into his or her house and remains a member of that house from freshman year until graduation.
COMMUNIT Y five houses. one cause. Where house loyalty runs deep, friendships are formed, and the cause of Christ brings students together.
The House System consists of five houses — Brainerd, Elliott, Fuller, Liele, and Schaeffer. The five houses are named after heroes of the faith: David Brainerd, Larry & Jean Elliott, Andrew Fuller, George Liele, and Francis Schaeffer. J U D S O N C O L L E G E .C O M / H O U S E S YS T E M

HOUSE SYSTEM Competitions Throughout the academic year, houses compete in a variety of events and househosted competitions that test the teamwork, unity, spirit, and sportsmanship of each house. These competitions culminate in the end-of-year House Tournament — a weeklong event involving literature, art, music, a field day, and the end-of-year house banquet, where the winning house takes home the cup and the title of reigning house champion.
College Fall Retreat Every fall semester, before the approaching demands of midterms, Judson students step away for a weekend of teaching, worship, and rest. For those still settling into community, the Fall Retreat offers opportunities for students to form friendships with those in other houses and to deepen bonds within their own house.
Calibrate For Judson students, the monthly Calibrate Worship Night is a treasured time of worship and recentering for the whole college. Over the course of the school year, each house hosts one of these worship nights, calibrating their fellow students towards the truth of the gospel in their lives.
PEER-LED COMMUNITY The House System was designed to place responsibility and leadership back in the hands of the student. These student-elected leaders are responsible for cultivating the community and culture of their house while urging their house members on towards greater Christlikeness and Great Commission living.

“In my undergrad, the House System provided so many opportunities to be invested in and to invest in others. It created a culture of personal discipleship that was contagious. This formative time on campus has solidified for me the importance of discipleship and how encouraging living life with others can be.”
Jenna Burchett Bachelor of Arts in Global Studies with Minor in Business, Master of Arts in Intercultural Studies
“Having the Great Commission ever before you shapes the way you see the world. That has certainly been the case for our daughters during their time at Judson College. We are also grateful for Judson’s healthy view of the local church and are delighted each of our daughters connected with and joined a local church when they moved to Wake Forest. They have been regularly reminded of the critical importance of being an active, serving member of the local church. During their time at Judson College, we have seen them take discipleship seriously, seeking out mentors and choosing to invest in the lives of others. They have each been influenced by Judson’s faculty who have taught, challenged, and encouraged them.”

Housing applications are accepted at any time after being admitted, but we recommend students apply early to secure their housing assignment.
ADMISSIONS During the admissions process, can I see how many credits might transfer?
Once your transcript has been sent to our admissions office, you can request an unofficial transcript evaluation from your admissions counselor to see how classes will potentially transfer for your desired degree.
When is the application deadline?
Applications should be submitted by the first day of class. Applications submitted after this date are not guaranteed to be admitted during that term.
How long will I have to wait for an application decision? Once all materials are submitted, applicants should receive a decision in 10 business days.
What degrees or educational opportunities are available for overseas missionaries?
Judson College and Southeastern Seminary offer several undergraduate, MDiv, MA, and graduate certificate options completely online that are available to international missionaries.
