Howard Payne University is a Christian, coeducational 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, HPU 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 and a limited number of graduate programs, offered in a traditional residential academic community, where relationships are nurtured and individuals matter.  Students, faculty, staff, and administration work together under the shared values of academic excellence, service to others, and Christian integrity.  The university also offers selected graduate and undergraduate course work at extended learning centers responsive to the academic needs of the communities served.
