School Details
The Baptist University of Florida is a private Christian college with a strong commitment to teaching from a Bible-based perspective. It aims to produce graduates with academic excellence, spiritual fervor, Christian character, and practical ministry skills. The college is located in Graceville, Florida, and it is the only institution of higher learning supported by the Florida Baptist Convention.
The university was founded in the 1940s to provide seminary-type training for pastors and other church leaders. BUF’s main focus has always been helping men and women called to Christian ministry. Over the years, the college expanded its programs to include associate, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees across many disciplines.
One of BUF’s strengths is its online education program. The Baptist University of Florida’s online degrees cover a range of Bible-focused fields, such as ministry, music, education, and more. Online courses are asynchronous, meaning students can study at their own pace and participate whenever they have an internet connection. The schedule follows traditional semesters, and the online courses maintain the same quality and student learning outcomes as on-campus ones.
