Student Feedback

Top-notch education from experts in their fields. When I started without much undergrad work in Bible or ministry, I worried about whether or not I was in the right place, but the administration, faculty, and staff were supportive. When I transitioned from a distance student to living on-campus, they made everything a breeze, and the community on-campus was fantastic and supportive beyond belief. The library facilities are the best for Biblical Studies, likely anywhere between Harvard and the Mississippi if not the West Coast. HST prepared me for ministry and a life of service and scholarship.
