Boyce College


Boyce College is a private, Christian college affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention and located in the Crescent Hill neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky. Boyce College was founded in 1998 by R. Albert Mohler Jr. as the undergraduate school of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and receives its accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada.

History

Boyce College is the successor of Boyce Bible School, which was formed in 1974 and offered an associate of arts degree. It is named for James Petigru Boyce, the first president of Southern Seminary. In 1998, under the guidance of the seminary's ninth president, Albert Mohler, Boyce Bible School became Boyce College and began offering six bachelor's degrees in addition to the associate degree. While offering seven different ministry-related degree programs, Boyce College's enrollment has grown over 700% in the ensuing years.
Boyce College was originally housed in W.O. Carver Hall, but was moved into the newly renovated Mullins Complex in August 2014. The renovation of Mullins includes 86 suite-style dormitories with 350 beds, 17 faculty offices, and Sampey Commons. Boyce College continues to share classrooms with Southern Seminary in W.O. Carver Hall, Rankin Hall, and Norton Hall. It also shares the Honeycutt Campus Center and the James P. Boyce Centennial Library with the seminary community.
In 2016, Boyce College opened the Augustine Honors Collegium, an honors, seminar-based program. The Collegium publishes a biannual academic journal, The Augustine Collegiate Review.
