Welcome

Southeastern’s Ph.D. program is truly one of a kind in that it is rooted in a high view of Scripture, committed to academic excellence, undergirded by expert mentoring and balanced in its pursuit of scholarship and ministry.

The first-year interdisciplinary integrative seminar grounds our students theologically; the second-year mentorship equips them for serious, specialized academic work; the third year is devoted to producing a quality dissertation.

Throughout their time at Southeastern, doctoral students form a vitally connected community of learners. Reasonable tuition rates and a well-published, caring faculty - not to mention the scenic beauty of Wake Forest and surroundings - combine to make the Ph.D. program at Southeastern one of the best values in theological education anywhere. Come see for yourself!
