Boyce College (also referred to as The College at Southern) is the undergraduate school of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky and is affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). SBTS President Albert Mohler started the program in 1998 to begin the training of future ministers. Boyce College seeks to serve the church and engage the culture by training its students in solid biblical theology.
History
Boyce College is the successor of Boyce Bible School, which was formed in 1974 and offered an associate of arts degree. It is named for James Petigru Boyce, the first president of Southern Seminary. In 1998, under the guiding hand of the seminary's ninth president, Albert Mohler, Boyce Bible School became Boyce College and began offering six bachelor's degrees in addition to the associate degree. While offering seven different ministry-related degree programs, Boyce College's enrollment has grown over 700% in the ensuing years.
Boyce College was originally housed in W.O. Carver Hall, but was moved into the newly renovated Mullins Complex in August 2014. The renovation of Mullins includes 86 suite-style dormitories with 350 beds, 17 faculty offices, and Sampey Commons (a gathering area that includes a rock climbing wall, two kitchens, a recording studio, and an entertainment lounge). Boyce College continues to share classrooms with Southern Seminary in W.O. Carver Hall, Rankin Hall, and Norton Hall. It also shares the Honeycutt Campus Center and the James P. Boyce Centennial Library with the Seminary community.
