History
In 1923, Henry Clay Morrison began Asbury Theological Seminary with a class of three students and fashioned a seal for the Seminary which audaciously reads “The Whole Bible for the Whole World.” Nearly 100 years later, those three students number in the tens of thousands with a second full campus in Orlando, Florida.

Student services
The International Student Services Office has been created to address the needs of international students by providing hospitality, care and support. The Manager of International Services is the first contact for our international students in working on all visa-related matters. This office continues to be international students’ main point of contact throughout their time at Asbury Seminary in all visa-related issues.
Housing services
New Student Orientation (NSO) is a special time designed to orient incoming students and their families to Asbury Theological Seminary’s campus and surrounding community and ready hearts and minds for the formational experience of seminary. This is also a unique opportunity to connect with students, staff, and faculty as we seek to celebrate the work God has done in the lives of new students, foster community, and provide key tools and necessary information.
ICT services
Technology resources include video production services and an information commons. The Information Commons is housed in the B.L. Fisher Library and contains Windows-based computers and Macintosh computers for students. There is also a student video editing bay.
Campus life
With the Kentucky and Florida Dunnam campuses, as well as online courses, Asbury Seminary offers three unique learning environments. Pick from a record number of programs on our main campus in the heart of the Bluegrass, study in a multi-cultural, urban context in beautiful Orlando—one of the nation’s most accessible and dynamic cities—or take up to two-thirds of your degree over the internet through our convenient Extended Learning program (ExL). Asbury Seminary’s competitive technological infrastructure unites all campuses and opens the door to a world of shared resources and creative potential.
Sports facilities
The Sherman Thomas Student Center is a major hub on the Kentucky campus. It’s home to the cafeteria, weight, cardio and aerobic rooms, regulation-sized basketball court, and a family play area. Certified personal trainers, including a former competitor in American Ninja Warrior, provide a safe, encouraging atmosphere for you to develop a healthy routine.
