Selma University, a four-year HBCU, was founded by the Baptist
Theological School in 1878 and has offered religion education as its primary
focus ever since. Like many black colleges and African American universities,
Selma University seeks to create spiritual leaders in the African American
community. Selma University has the unique distinction of
being one of the few Historical Black Colleges & Universities to offer
degrees in religion and bible theology.
