The Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary Catalogs are published by Southeastern Seminary to provide information for each academic year. The earliest catalog was published in 1951. Catalogs were sometimes published in connection to the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary Bulletin and most contain information for one academic year, though some cover multiple years. The catalogs provide an academic calendar and a brief introduction to the seminary, its facilities, and the community. Further information includes curriculum and class offerings, details regarding admissions, and registers of students, faculty, staff, trustees, and graduates. Subcollections for the 1990s and 2000s include CASE catalogs for the college.
