A School of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

www.BoyceCollege.com If you are looking for a Christian college, you have plenty of options. If you are looking for a Christian college where you can grow in knowledge and faith, your choices become more limited. If you are looking for a Christian college that will fully prepare you to make a lasting impact on the world, Boyce College is the right choice.

A Boyce College education does more than fill the head. It changes the heart. At Boyce College, our students do not just study for

ministry; they do it. Our students are taught life-changing truths and then they apply them in the real world. In any given week, you can find Boyce College students doing ministry throughout our community and around the world. Our students are making an IMPACT on the church, the world, and the future.

the church.

Built upon a commitment

to biblical truth and historic, orthodox Christianity, Boyce College is dedicated to the task of preparing ministers. Centered upon a classical biblical and theological program of study, each degree plan was created with an eye toward the relevant issues facing today’s church.

However, our students are not waiting for the future. They are impacting the church today. Many serve in local congregations as pastors, worship leaders, and youth workers. They are putting their classroom work to the test right now and they are making an IMPACT.

the world.

Dedicated to local and global

evangelism, Boyce College’s mission is to nurture the next generation of Christian leaders who will sow the seeds of the Gospel at home and abroad. Every student is trained in personal evangelism and given a vision for international missions. We want them to develop a great passion for the Great Commission.

Christian education does not end in the classroom. Students at Boyce College put their education to work. In addition to learning about evangelism, our students are doing it. By sharing their faith on extracurricular evangelistic teams and school-sponsored mission trips overseas,

“I know that in my studies and the different classes I’m taking, the Lord will prepare me.” — Jessica Vaughn, Sophomore, Tuscaloosa, Ala.

the future.

Whatever your calling,

whatever your ministry, Boyce College readies you to impact the future. Every class, every textbook, and every opportunity to learn is focused on giving your best back to God and making a lasting difference on the world. Boyce’s unique combination of academic training and real world experience will provide a strong foundation for your future ministry.

Unlike other Christian colleges that offer a wide variety of degrees in the liberal arts, our cutting-edge curriculum, ministryfocused degrees, supportive local churches, and experienced faculty will prepare you to face the future. As our world changes and our culture shifts, the church needs a new generation of leaders who are ready to make an IMPACT.

STUDENT LIFE

PRACTICAL MATTERS

As important as classroom studies are, that is not all that there is to college life. Spiritual growth, relationships, and your health are important too.

As if choosing the right school is not hard enough, you have to figure out how you are going to pay for it and where you are going to live. At Boyce College, that is not as hard as it seems.

That is where Student Life comes in. Student Life can mean a lot of different things to different people. For the single student, it might mean the opportunity to get together with other students. For the married student, it’s a chance to spend some time with family and friends. For the Boyce family, it is a time for worship, discipleship, and fellowship. Worship. Worship and the preaching of God’s Word are vital components of campus life. The students and faculty of Boyce College regularly come together for chapel. Featured during these services are some of the best-known scholars and preachers from across the country and around the world. Also, on-campus students meet weekly for a time of student-led worship in the dorms. Discipleship. In addition to your classroom education, plenty of opportunities exist for furthering your spiritual education. Our students can be found in mentoring relationships, accountability groups or simply studying the Bible together. Plus, for our female students and our students’ wives, we offer a host of additional ministries just for women. Fellowship. Whether it is a schoolwide picnic, intramural sports, involvement in our local churches, or just a group of students sitting around discussing the attributes of God, many opportunities exist for students and their families to fellowship with one another, to share in the college experience or just relax.

16

Financial Aid. Thanks to thousands of faithful Southern Baptist churches that support the Cooperative Program, our tuition is very affordable. Plus, financial aid is available for students who qualify. There is a deferred payment plan available for students who want to spread the cost of their education throughout the semester. Please note, Boyce College does not participate in government loan or grant programs.

Housing. Many housing options exist on- and offcampus. Younger single male students live in the Carver Building. Younger single women live in Mullins Hall. All other students, married or single, have the option of living on- or off-campus. Here is some good news: Housing costs in Louisville are very reasonable and are comparable with most other medium-size cities. Louisville. Year after year, Louisville is ranked among the best places to live in America – and for good reason. Centrally located, Louisville is within a day’s drive of over half of the United States. When you take into consideration Louisville’s museums, the zoo, college and professional sports teams, and more parks per capita than any other city in the country, Louisville is a great place to live.
