Residence Life & Housing
Residence Halls
SWBTS has two residence halls: Barnard Hall for women and Fort Worth Hall for men. Built in 1910, Fort Worth Hall was the first building to be constructed on campus.
Barnard Hall, the second building to be constructed as the Women’s Missionary Training School in 1914, was named for a former dean of women. Today these halls serve as residences for as many as 200 men and 150 women as they prepare for gospel ministry.
All Texas Baptist College students are required to live in the Residence Halls until they graduate or turn 26 years old. Students in an undergraduate to graduate five-year program are eligible for General Housing based on availability at the completion of 90 credit hours. Texas Baptists College students turning 26 may choose to move-out of the residence hall at the end of the semester they turn 26. The age limit for any Residence Hall resident is 29 years of age. Residents turning 29 during the semester may finish the semester but must move out by the graduation move-out deadline.
