HSU Elevates Logsdon School of Theology to Its Own College

Hardin-Simmons University has elevated the Logsdon School of Theology to its own distinct college, allowing for a stronger focus on ministry education, deeper connections with churches, and a continued emphasis on HSU’s Baptist heritage. The Logsdon School of Theology will transition from the Cynthia Ann Parker College of Liberal Arts to become its own college effective June 1, 2025.

The Board of Trustees offered the following statement:

“Since its founding in 1983, the Logsdon School of Theology has been an integral part of Hardin-Simmons University. Logsdon has remained steadfast in its mission—preparing students for ministry, deepening their understanding of Scripture, and equipping all students across campus with the tools for Christian leadership. After much prayer and thoughtful consideration, we look forward to this significant step in meeting the growing demand for well-equipped leaders.”

The Logsdon School of Theology will focus its offerings on undergraduate education with the intent to thoughtfully and strategically expand. Current offerings will include:

• A Christian Studies major, with courses in biblical studies, church history, ministry, and theology.
• A Christian Studies minor.
• Students Majoring in Music with a Concentration in Worship Leadership take Logsdon ministry courses.
• Instruction in Bible courses that all undergraduate students take.

An inaugural open house, guest lectures with church leaders and theologians, and meet-and-greet sessions with faculty will be announced at a later date.
