You can get something here that cannot be found anywhere else - training under some of the top Christian apologists and Bible teachers in the country who are committed to classical theology, philosophy, and apologetics. We invite you to join the hundreds who have already experienced this exciting educational opportunity to become better equipped to evangelize the world (Mt. 28:18-20) and to defend the historic Christian Faith (1 Pt. 3:15). We offer the best programs in apologetics with training from top professors like Thomas Howe, Richard Howe, Jason Reed, Barry Leventhal, Wayne Detzler, Frank Turek, Mike Licona, Gary Habermas,  William Dembski, Dave Beck, and many others.

Our tuition rates are low, as are our application, registration, and graduation fees. Limited scholarships and financial aid are available, but most students do not find it difficult to pay as they go - thus avoiding the debt that students in other institutions must deal with after graduation.

The campus is situated in a beautiful wooded campus area. There is plenty of local housing and the economy is booming.

For those unable to move to the Charlotte area, lectures can be provided on audio or video. Although distance students miss out on some great fellowship and discipleship, they can still get the same great education from the comfort of their home.

If you have any questions about the application process, then please call Duke or Nora Hale at 1-800-77-TRUTH ext. 216 or 223 and set up a time to meet, get a tour of the facilities, and ask questions.

SES hosts an Open House for prospective students to get a chance to visit the campus and speak with representatives of the school. If you are considering Bible College or Seminary, we invite you to come visit the campus, meet our professors, and get a feel for SES life and education. We generally hold our open houses twice a year (usually the last week of March and the second week of November). You can combine your visit with attendance to November conference if you wish. You are also welcome to come out the day before and sit in on a class Thursday night (Friday classes are usually rescheduled around conference nights).

Your visit will include:

• Lunch, and time to meet with faculty and staff as well as other prospective students.
• A greeting from the president, Dr. Alex McFarland.
• Presentations from the Registrar (Doug Potter), the Director of Distance Education (Lanny Wilson), and other academic department heads.
• A tour of the facility.
• And, if you arrive on Thursday, you will have the opportunity to sit in on one or more of the courses being taught that evening (6:30-9:30pm).

To attend the Open House please contact one of the Deans of Students: Duke Hale (dhale@ses.edu) or Nora Hale (nhale@ses.edu).

If you are not available to come to the Open House, we can schedule a campus visit. To do so please call Duke or Nora Hale at 1-800-77-TRUTH ext. 216 or 223 and set up a time to meet, get a tour of the facilities, have lunch, and ask questions.
