“An institution that freely admits the name of Christ, HBU’s mission, clearly stated, is to “provide a learning experience that instills in students a passion for academic, spiritual, and professional excellence as a result of our central confession, ‘Jesus Christ is Lord.’” Over 3,000 students are enrolled at HBC, but the school is committed to keeping classes small so that no student is ever just a number. Every student is also assigned an advisor to help them navigate their way throughout their stay. Over 40 majors and minors, 8 pre-professional programs, and 16 graduate-level degree and certification programs are offered through HBC’s eight schools. A tight-knit college community located in the fourth largest city in the United States, HBC is dedicated to providing a holistic educational approach and students can rest assured that there is always something to do in and out of the classroom at HBC.?”
