Why TBC?
Distinctly Christian
The Bible is the primary textbook in every classroom at TBC. All our curriculum is built on and every member of our faculty is dedicated to the unchanging, inerrant, and infallible Word of God. Additionally, every faculty member affirms the Baptist Faith and Message as our shared confession of faith.
Additional Affirmed Statements:
Embedded on the campus of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, TBC students have access to seminary-grade professors and classes. Our classrooms are strongly informed by the methods of classical education, and students are challenged to read primary texts and engage them from a biblical perspective. Advanced students can even complete both their undergraduate and master’s degrees in 154 credit hours through the 5-Year Program.
Over seventy-five percent of applicants receive financial aid, and more than ninety percent of TBC students graduate debt-free. We provide scholarships, financial aid, and financial counseling to students.
Additionally, all incoming and current students at Texas Baptist College who are active members of a Southern Baptist Church are eligible for the SBC Cooperative Program discount. This 50% discount is in the form of a reduced tuition rate and no scholarship application is required.
Mentorship
The student/professor ratio here is approximately 16 students per professor, allowing for our faculty to care personally and intentionally for each one of their students.
Spiritual Life
Chapel services are held every Tuesday and Thursday throughout the fall and spring semesters, allowing students to prioritize their spiritual growth and providing the college and seminary community to worship together as a campus family.
Missions and Evangelism
Here, we believe that missions and evangelism are an essential part of every believer’s life. So every year, TBC students have opportunities to serve on local, national, and international mission trips. In addition, the seminary’s missionary-in-residence program houses international missionaries on campus, providing students with the chance to fellowship with and learn from missionary families.
Fun!
From game nights and color runs to talent shows and Easter egg hunts, our Student Life Team offers events and social activities designed to build community and help students cultivate lifelong friendships. Students have a wide array of opportunities to plug into campus life.
