HBU has created an education that goes further than most, by combining faith, reason and liberal arts into one core curriculum. An education that’s based not only on technical training, but the teachings of Christ, reason, and the past successes and failures of humanity.
Get StartedI have found community at HBU unlike anything I have ever experienced before. I have gained lifelong friends through my relationships with fellow students, professors, and staff members. There has never been a season of my life where I have grown more as a disciple of Christ, and that is largely due to the quality of people that are found on HBU’s campus.
I am from a small high school where I was close with both the teachers and counselors. I was hoping to have that same experience at HBU and what I have encountered here was so much more than I ever thought possible. As a part of the Honors College, although my classes are academically challenging, I find myself looking forward to going to class since my classmates and professors are amazing people to be around.
HBU has given me the opportunity to flourish in all aspects – academically, personally, and spiritually. I have established a deep commitment to my friends here – they are there for me when I need prayer, or someone to talk to, or help with a class. I have found a sense of community at HBU, and have not just found friends here – I have found family.
