ACADEMICS

Texas Baptist Institute and Seminary is divided into two major sections: Institute and Seminary. Students complete their first through fourth year of course work in the Institute. All first year students are enrolled in the Institute Division. Enrollment in Seminary Division is limited to students who have demonstrated capacity for work of that division during the first eight semesters of work in the Institute Division. A demonstrated capacity for work in the first eight semesters of the Institute (at least an 80% average grade – B) is a pre-requisite to enrollment into the Seminary. The master and doctoral programs are completed at the Seminary level.
