Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary is an educational institution of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). The Seminary is governed by a Board of Trustees elected by the SBC. Trustees elect the President, President’s Cabinet, and the Faculty. Trustees also approve the budget, official documents, and personnel policies as well as authorize legal transactions, academic policies and administrative guidelines for the school. The Seminary receives a major part of its operating expenses from the SBC Cooperative Program. These funds are supplemented by student fees and special gifts from alumni and friends. The College at Southeastern is a school of the Seminary that offers primarily undergraduate programs.
Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees consists of 30 members who are elected by the Southern Baptist Convention and are charged with the control and governance of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Inc. The chief function of the board is to establish the policy concerning the operation of the seminary and approve the academic programs offered by the school. Not only must the board know and understand the objectives of the Seminary, but they must also interpret, clarify, and apply that understanding to current conditions of the school as well as help others to understand these policies, programs, and standards.
Though meeting formally on the Seminary campus only twice a year, individual members of the board make it a point to become personally involved in Seminary life all year. Working out of their love for the seminary, trustees serve as recruiters, fundraisers, and prayer warriors for the benefit of Southeastern and the Kingdom of God.

Southeastern Society
The Southeastern Society was established: (a) to provide a means by which friends of the Seminary can assist in fulfilling its purpose of glorifying the Lord Jesus Christ by equipping students to serve the church and fulfill the Great Commission; (b) to assist by providing and securing financial resources for the opportunities and needs of the Seminary; (c) to share Southeastern with friends, business acquaintances, and the larger Southern Baptist family; (d) to assist in the recruitment of students by encouraging individuals who are seeking to prepare for ministry to consider attending Southeastern Seminary, and (e) to assist in the overall development program of the Seminary. (The Southeastern Society was formerly known as the Board of Visitors.)

Faculty Profile
In seeking to build the faculty at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and The College at Southeastern, the following “Faculty Profile” has been established by the trustees in order to define the general characteristics sought in all elected faculty members. Within the faculty, there will be specific characteristics needed for individual positions related to the teaching specialization. Those special expectations may be set forth in position descriptions prepared for each declared vacancy or in other ways. The “Faculty Profile,” however, describes the general expectations of the institution for its permanent faculty.
Elected members of the faculty at Southeastern serve the Christian community as ministers who are personally committed to the lordship of Jesus Christ in every area of life; they seek to obey Christ’s command to love God with all their heart, soul and mind and their neighbor as themselves; they are able and ready to testify of a personal experience of regenerating grace in their life; they affirm and maintain biblical standards of sexual morality; they defend and honor the biblical reverence for life; and they are dedicated to the task of equipping students for service through local churches, mission work and other forms of Christian ministry.
 Elected members of the faculty are Baptists in sympathy with the mission of the Southern Baptist Convention; during their time of service at Southeastern, they are active members of a cooperating Southern Baptist church; and they are personally committed to intentional evangelism, Christian social concerns, and world missions.
Faculty members teaching at the master’s level and above are expected to have basic theological education and an earned research doctorate (such as the Ph.D., Th.D. or a degree with similar recognition) from an established institution of higher learning. Moreover, all faculty members are required to have and maintain appropriate expertise in their teaching field.
Faculty members are competent teachers committed to the purpose and the mission of the school and to the historic evangelical Christian faith while employing all useful methods of research and avenues of legitimate theological inquiry in the free pursuit of truth and knowledge.
Faculty members accept, affirm, pledge to teach in accordance with and not contrary to, and subscribe to the Abstract of Principles and The Baptist Faith and Message 2000 ; they affirm and teach the Bible as the inspired, inerrant and infallible Word of God, a perfect treasure of divine instruction with God for its author, salvation for its end and truth without any mixture of error for its matter, the true center of Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and religious opinions should be tried.
Adopted 1992 and amended 2001 by the Board of Trustees
