The faculty and staff of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary launched the new academic year with a report from President David S. Dockery, reflecting with gratitude on God’s faithfulness over recent years and expressing reliance on His blessings in the future.
Dockery reported the 2024–25 academic year was the third straight year of increases in both the non-duplicating annual headcount enrollment as well in credit hours taught: enrollment increased from 3,403 to 3,656 while credit hours increased from 33,253 to 36,284. This was the first time since 2014-2016 to have three consecutive years of increases in those areas, he said.
Southwestern also continued to make measurable steps toward institutional and financial stability.
