The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (SBTS) is a Baptist seminary in 
Louisville, Kentucky. It is the oldest of the six seminaries affiliated with the 
Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). The seminary was founded in 1859 in 
Greenville, South Carolina, where it was at first housed on the campus of Furman 
University. The seminary has been an innovator in theological education, 
establishing one of the first Ph.D. programs in religion in 1892. After being 
closed during the Civil War, it moved in 1877 to a newly built campus in 
downtown Louisville and moved to its current location in 1926 in the Crescent 
Hill neighborhood. In 1953, Southern became one of the few seminaries to offer a 
full, accredited degree course in church music. For more than fifty years 
Southern has been one of the world's largest theological seminaries, with an FTE 
(full-time equivalent) enrollment of over 3,300 students in 2015.
