About the SBU Faculty
Be instructed by faculty who are the finest of scholars and who care about character.
As a distinctly Christian university, integrating faith with every academic pursuit is the cornerstone of an SBU education. Southwest Baptist University isn’t just for Baptists or Bible scholars.
Our faculty, most of whom hold terminal degrees in their field, care about the development of each student in mind, body, and spirit. Whether you are a business, music, science, art, mathematics or computer science major, you will be well-prepared to excel in your field.
What our graduates have to say:
“SBU gave me an indispensable opportunity to clarify my values and live them out in real-world experiences. many of the relationships I developed with committed faculty and baseball teammates continue to reinforce who I am both professionally and spiritually. Today, as a psychologist working with a range of people who have diverse beliefs and life experiences, I’ll never forget where I stand on the important matters of life.”
Dr. Jeffrey Brown, BS ’92, psychology
sports psychologist, author, and Harvard Medical School Instructor"I don’t know another university where the professors take time to truly get to know their students and become involved in their lives. Whether that meant having me over for dinner, attending my theatre performances, or taking the time to encourage me during hard times, SBU provided me with a family away from home."
