The Havard School for Theological Studies, Houston, Texas. In 1975, Southwestern established an extension site for seminary studies on the Houston Baptist University campus. This was a joint endeavor of Houston Baptist University and the Colorado, Creath-Brazos, Galveston, GulfCoast, San Felipe, San Jacinto, Trinity River, Tryon-Evergreen and Union Baptist Associations. In 2002, Park Place Baptist Church gave their facilities to the seminary as a site for extension studies. In October 2003, trustees named the campus at Park Place the J. Dalton Havard Center in honor of the Houston-based evangelist.
Southwestern gave the site status as the fourth school of the seminary, the Havard School for Theological Studies, in April 2004 and named Dr. Denny Autrey as the school’s first dean. The campus provides students with the M.Div., MACE, MALM, MATH, and Bachelor of Science in Biblical Studies degrees.
