HELLO FROM IN ABILENE, TEXAS! We are so glad you are interested in transferring to HSU! Our partnership with Cisco College means that we have a direct pathway for you to further your education at Hardin-Simmons University. This transfer guide will help you determine which courses to take at the community college level that will successfully transfer into your HSU degree.
