Harding School of Theology is the graduate theological studies program of Harding University. Since 1952, we've helped scholars enrich their minds, deepen their faith and harness their leadership skills. We challenge graduate-level ministers, church leaders and missionaries to fortify their faith and guide disciples through God's word.

At HST, we believe ministry and scholarship work hand-in-hand. We challenge Christian leaders to develop a deeper faith in God through immersive studies and extensive coursework. HST allows students to engage in ministry as they study, converting classroom lessons into real-world experiences.

Harding School of Theology was one of the first seminaries in Churches of Christ to offer graduate education and doctoral programs. Since 1958, we've turned capable scholars into compelling leaders equipped with the tools to guide future disciples.
