Southwest Baptist University

Founded in 1878, Southwest Baptist University is a Christian liberal arts university with more than 100 areas of academic study on undergraduate, graduate and doctoral levels; faculty who are passionate about you, your education, and your future success.

Liberal arts schools provide both breadth and depth. Breadth is offered across the curriculum with coursework in the arts, sciences, and humanities, with the goal of preparing students for life. Depth is provided through the major, which focuses on preparation for work in a specific field. In a Christian liberal arts education, the Christian lens is the primary lens for learning. Breadth and depth in a Christian liberal arts setting also means a focus on critical thinking so that non-Christian perspectives are examined (but not endorsed) and students are prepared to serve in secular careers and in service to Christ.
