Facts and practical information

Logsdon Seminary is a private Baptist seminary in Abilene, Texas associated with Hardin-Simmons University. The seminary offers the Master of Divinity degree, the Master of Arts degree, and the Doctor of Ministry degree. The seminary was unable to build an adequate endowment to sustain the low revenue that seminary tuition rates typically generate, and the university announced a plan in early 2020 to close the seminary, with an appropriate "teach out" period for affected students.
