Academics

Prospective students tell us that the most important reason for attending Austin Seminary is the quality of the faculty and the academic reputation of the school. The Christian scholars who make up our faculty integrate into their own daily lives a spirit of devotion to the mission of God's church in the world. This dedication is evident in and outside of the classroom; in a typical year, these scholar / pastors will preach and teach in more than 400 settings around the country. 

Many places brag about their faculty-student ratios-an important factor, and ours is an intimate ten to one. At Austin Seminary, however, we're more interested in the faculty-student relationships-which are unquantifiable. Our community's broad geographical, theological, experiential, and age representation means that you will engage in conversations that both nurture and challenge your own deeply held beliefs. Such is the path toward self knowledge, one of the most important attributes of a capable Christian leader.
