About This School

New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary is a private nonprofit institution located in New Orleans, Louisiana with approximately 770 undergraduate students enrolled. In-state tuition is $11,540 per year. The graduation rate is 41%.

New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary (NOBTS) is a Baptist theological institute in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention. Missions and evangelism are core focuses of the seminary.

Worth considering if you're a Baptist student with a clear calling toward ministry, missions, or evangelism — this Southern Baptist Convention school offers a focused, faith-driven environment that's hard to replicate elsewhere. The numbers tell a mixed story, though: while 81% of freshmen return for sophomore year, only 41% of students ultimately graduate, which is a real red flag worth discussing before enrolling. If you're committed to this specific vocational path, ask the admissions office directly about what's driving that graduation gap.
