You’re not casual about your faith.

Neither are we.

That’s why we promise every

professor and every major will

aim to transform you beyond

the classroom.

We’re serious about:

Your Worldview

Every part of the school is

dedicated to helping each

student form a distinctively

biblical vision for life and calling.

Your Discipleship

You’ll build deep, lasting

relationships with like-minded

young Christians who take

their faith seriously.

Your Mission

Each student at Boyce College has

one of two callings: the call to go

to the nations with the gospel or

the call to stay, send, and support

others to go. Which one are you?

The ninth president of Southern Seminary,

Albert Mohler has been president at Southern

Seminary and Boyce College for 25 years.

R. Albert Mohler Jr.

If you want to be a thoughtful Christian

willing to discuss things that matter, you’ll

need a full biblical worldview. That’s where

R. Albert Mohler Jr., the president of Southern

Seminary and Boyce College, shines. He is

the host of The Briefing, a daily podcast

analyzing news and events from a Christian

worldview, and Thinking in Public, a conver-

sation on key cultural issues with the people

who are shaping them. Time.com called him

the “reigning intellectual of the evangelical

movement in the U.S.” and he is the author

of more than ten books, including The Prayer

That Turns the World Upside Down. He is

regularly discussing frontline theological and

cultural topics at forums like his Ask Anything

Tour, which has visited the University of

Louisville, the University of Southern California,

and the University of California-Los Angeles

in the last two years.

A Faculty Committed to MentorshipOf our faculty members, 95 percent hold a terminal degree.

But that’s not what’s most important about them. They are

not just gifted scholars. They are committed to spending

most of their time in the classroom — teaching and mentor-

ing students like you.

Oren MartinAssistant professor of Christian theology

What is distinct about studying Christian theology at

Boyce College?

Christian theology attends to the whole of Scripture from

Genesis to Revelation, in all of its glorious relations and

proportions, as we think and talk about God the Holy

Trinity, man, sin, Christ, the Holy Spirit, salvation, church,

and eschatology. In other words, we think through the

basic concepts of the Christian faith so that we can

faithfully live before God wherever he leads us.

Why do you love teaching here?

Since Boyce College offers a variety of majors beyond

Christian ministry, I love the opportunity to teach stu-

dents how to think and live before God as they prepare

to go into the world. What a privilege! It’s been such a

joy to see former students now ministering in churches

and serving overseas with hearts burning for the

glory of Christ.

David BoschAssociate professor of business administration

Why do you love teaching at

Boyce College?

Besides the faculty and the

students that love Jesus, my life

makes sense here. I am able to

use all of my experience in the

classroom. From my corporate

experience to my educational

background to my missional

experience, it all gets utilized

at Boyce College. I want to be

a part of equipping students to

view their work as ministry and

an opportunity to take the gospel

to the marketplace — whether

that is in Louisville, Kentucky,

or Baghdad, Iraq.

What are some of your former

students doing now?

Our graduates have been placed

in multiple arenas. One is a

financial analyst for an energy

company. We also have one doing

social media marketing for an ad

agency. Another graduate is an

entrepreneur running a success-

ful photography business.

How one Boyce College student made it work

What encouragement do you have for

a prospective student unsure about

making it work?

Something that I always tell friends that

are considering Boyce is that if God wants

you here, you’ll be here, and money is no

object for him. There are so many stories

of God’s faithfulness in providing for a

student’s time at Boyce. Most students at

Boyce are in the same boat with paying for

college bit by bit and doing their best to

stay out of debt. That might look like work-

ing a couple of on-campus jobs like I do,

taking classes a little slower and paying

as you go, or working for a company like

Chipotle, UPS, or Starbucks that provides

some tuition assistance.

A Community ʻUnlike Any Otherʼ

What is your favorite thing to do

in Louisville?

The food and coffee in Louisville are

incredible! I love going to eat at dif-

ferent restaurants around the city and

enjoying the great food it has to offer.

There are tons of great coffee shops

here too but my personal favorite

is Quills’.

What has been your favorite class

so far?

My favorite class by far has been

business law. I went into that class

expecting it to be dry and monotonous

but the professor, Jon Austin, really

made the content come alive.

What is one thing you would want a

future student to know about Boyce?

The community at Boyce is unlike any

other that I’ve been a part of. If you

come to Boyce, godly relationships are

everywhere, and you can’t help but find

lifelong friends.

What has surprised you most about

being a student at Boyce?

When I came to Boyce, I knew I would

be receiving a great education theo-

logically, but I was surprised with how

thorough it was in the business depart-

ment. It really is preparing me to be

successful in the corporate world, but

with a biblical mindset.

Sophia FryerMusic and Worship Virginia Beach, Virginia

What has surprised you most

about being a student at Boyce?

Studying music was something

I always knew I wanted to do.

Coming to Boyce, I had fallen in

love with the people, the culture

and the dedication to uncovering

the truths in the Bible. But through

my music classes, I’ve learned so

much and grown in my abilities in

ways I never would have expected.

Even though the classes can be

difficult, the professors are help-

ful and push every student to be

the best they can be. I would not

be the musician I am today if it

weren’t for Boyce College.

What is your favorite thing to do

in Louisville?

I’m a huge nature enthusiast, so

I was pumped to hear that even

though Louisville is a pretty

good-sized city, there are plenty

of parks to visit! Cherokee Park

is super close to school, which

I love, but my favorite place to

go is Bernheim Forest. It’s the

perfect way to take a break

from the college pressures

and de-stress.

What has been your favorite

class so far?

My favorite class has been

Intro to Conducting. It’s taught

by Dr. Brewton, and it’s so much

fun. Conducting music was

never something I had envi-

sioned myself doing, but I

found a love for it through the

class, and it is something I

would love to get better at in

the future.

The book of 1 John gives a helpful model for building relationships: Older men

guide younger men, and older women guide younger women. At Boyce College,

we take that seriously, intentionally pairing upperclass students (juniors and

seniors) with underclass students (freshmen and sophomores) to cultivate a life

of discipleship and mentorship.

Residence Halls

Mullins Complex

After being completely renovated in 2014, the

Mullins Complex provides state-of-the-art hous-

houses two to six students, and most suites

include a common kitchenette and dining area,

lounge and TV space, and one or two bathrooms.

Fuller Hall

Home to female Boyce College students,

Fuller Hall was renovated in the spring of

2018 and features a popular lounge on the

first floor. It is a suite-style dorm with a

common kitchenette and bathroom shared
