You’ll never find another place like Hardin-Simmons University. We are a Baptist university in Abilene, 德州, with more than 130 years of history and traditions that aren’t matched at any other school, and that gives HSU a personality as big as the West 德州 horizon.

The HSU Difference

Breaking barriers. The founders, the students, the alumni of Hardin-Simmons - all of them have a history of tearing down spiritual and physical walls. This is the legacy of our university that, along with its traditions and personality, make it very different ... in a good way.
