Howard Payne University is a Christian, coeducational, undergraduate university of liberal
arts and professional studies that is affiliated with the Baptist General Convention of Texas.
Founded in 1889 for the purpose of preparing students for Christian ministry, Howard Payne
University remains dedicated to honoring Christ and serving His Church by providing an educational
experience that integrates faith, learning, and living. The university has expanded its
original scope to include a full array of undergraduate programs offered in a traditional residential
academic community, where relationships are nurtured and individuals matter.

excellence, service to others, and Christian integrity. The university also offers selected
course work at extended learning centers responsive to the academic needs of the communities
served. Howard Payne University maintains a low student-teacher ratio, which contributes
