Regular day courses were offered beginning in 1940, and the name was changed to Southeastern Bible School in 1943. A basic three-year program grew to a four-year degree program in 1948. Other academic programs were developed and the charter rights to grant degrees were obtained in 1950. The name of the school was changed to Southeastern Bible College in 1952.

Students, faculty and staff are all actively involved in a mutual effort to build and maintain a Christian community where the development of spiritual maturity is both possible and encouraged. The life of each person should reflect Christ-like character.
