About This School
The Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary is a private nonprofit institution located in Fort Worth, Texas with approximately 324 undergraduate students enrolled. The Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 58%. In-state tuition is $11,934 per year. The graduation rate is 28%.
This school is a strong fit for students who feel a clear vocational call to Baptist ministry and want a tightly focused theological education in a faith-centered community — it is not a good fit for students still exploring their direction. The Fort Worth location offers access to a major metro area, and the small enrollment of just 324 undergraduates means you'll get personal attention that larger seminaries simply can't offer. That said, the graduation rate of only 28% is a serious red flag that deserves a direct conversation — even with an 84% freshman retention rate, something is causing students to leave before finishing, whether that's financial strain, a change in calling, or fit issues that surface after the first year. Before applying, I'd strongly encourage the student to ask the admissions office specifically why students are leaving and what support exists to help them complete their degree. If you can get a candid, satisfying answer to that question, and if full-time ministry is genuinely the goal, then this small seminary may be worth serious consideration — but go in with eyes open.
