• The 70-acre main campus features buildings in classical Georgian architecture. The newest addition, the Legacy Center, houses conference and guest rooms.
• One of the few seminaries to offer an extensive Health and Recreation facility.
• State-of-the-art classrooms designed with video projectors for presentations, internet access, and other innovative learning options.
• The James P. Boyce Centennial Library’s extensive collections now exceed one million catalogued items including materials from Dr. Boyce’s personal library and premier collections in the area of Baptist studies. The holdings of the Boyce Library rank it among the foremost seminary libraries in North America.
• More than 4,000 students representing all 50 states, 45 foreign countries and some 700 colleges and universities make up the student body of Southern Seminary.
• Thanks to the Cooperative Program, tuition for each Southern Baptist student is substantially reduced, making Southern Seminary and Boyce College excellent values for theological education.
