About This School
Southeastern Baptist College is a private nonprofit institution located in Laurel, Mississippi with approximately 93 undergraduate students enrolled. Southeastern Baptist College has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 100%. The average net price after financial aid is $8,138 per year. The graduation rate is 80%.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the $5,603 average net price is genuinely low, and a 100% graduation rate sounds impressive — but a 19% freshman retention rate means roughly 4 out of 5 first-year students don't come back, which raises real questions about student experience, support, or fit. With only 65 students total, this is a deeply niche environment tied to Baptist ministry training, not a traditional college path. Worth considering only if you're specifically pursuing Baptist theological education and the low cost is a priority — otherwise, explore more options first.
