Our University
Southeastern, a university of the Assemblies of God, welcomes students from a variety of denominations. Through graduate and undergraduate degree programs–and on a beautiful Mediterranean-style campus–we offer a vital, Christ-centered education that equips students for a life of world-changing leadership, both in a variety of professional careers, and ministry-related fields. Our Campus
Think palm trees, orange groves, wide sunsets reflected in sparkling lakes. That’s the setting for our 87-acre campus, where we bask in a semitropical climate with an average annual temperature of 72 degrees. Since 1946 (11 years after the school’s founding in Alabama), our home has been Lakeland, Florida, a city of about 100,000 located midway between Tampa and Orlando. Our People
Men and women who care about Christ and a career come from all over. Southeastern currently enrolls more than 3,000 students representing 48 states and 40 countries. Our most recent entering class included an ethnic minority population of approximately 23 percent. More than half of our current faculty hold doctoral degrees in their respective fields. Our Daily Lives
Every academic program at Southeastern includes Biblical studies, professors who care about students’ academic and spiritual growth, and a campus full of people who are committed to Christ. Freshmen belong to one of our small, interactive FIRST teams, which give them eight to 12 new friends right away and helps them ease into our academic community. Three mornings each week, our community gets a spiritual boost from chapel–a service enlivened by campus choirs and bands, ensemble groups, college musicians, and an interesting range of well-known guest speakers. Our Athletics
A new member of the NAIA Division II, and current member of the NCCAA Division I, Southeastern fields teams in
men’s and women’s basketball, soccer, and cheerleading; men’s baseball and golf; and women’s volleyball and tennis. Our varsity teams–named The Fire–have won recent NCCAA Division II national championships in men’s soccer (2006), men’s baseball (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008), men’s basketball (2005, Final Four in 2006), and men’s golf (2007, for the fifth straight year). Our Graduates
Long after commencement, our graduates remain a part of the Southeastern community. Today, throughout the United
States and around the world, Southeastern graduates are living Christ’s message in positions of leadership as teachers, attorneys, clergy, social service and mental health professionals, missionaries, musicians, and business men and women. Our Work in the World
At Southeastern, we consider every kind of work an opportunity to serve and minister. To help you explore your
individual calling in the context of your professional goals, we’ve designed our academic programs so that each major
field incorporates a variety of career-relevant choices for student ministry and community service. The newest expression
of this commitment is our Jerusalem Studies Center Program in Israel, offering our students a unique perspective on the
historical background of Christianity and its implications for servant leadership in the wider world. |
