A full-time faculty of 22 persons is
committed to providing both personal and challenging educational opportunities
for students. Six of the faculty are women. Two are African American.
Two were born abroad -- in India and Australia. Through the past 135-plus
years, the faculty at the Seminary has been known for its academic
excellence.
Since a majority of faculty live on
campus, they are available to students in the classroom, in their
offices in Hagan Center, and in some cases at their homes.
In addition to information on this web site, our
