Music meets ministry.
Do you believe in the transformative power of music to inspire, uplift, and unite communities in worship? Choosing a worship leadership degree is not just an academic decision; it’s a spiritual calling—a journey that fuses your love for music with your devotion to guiding hearts in worship. This major will teach you to curate meaningful worship experiences that resonate with your congregation.
Our Bachelor of Science in Music, Worship Leadership Concentration degree is housed in the School of Music and offers a fully-functioning degree in music/worship leadership with a new core of worship-specific courses included.
This degree prepares our students with a breadth of information and skills that are applicable to a variety of careers in music and ministry. We educate students to enter the vast arena of worship ministry including training in worship technology, rehearsal techniques, production elements, service planning, team-building, varied denominational models, worship theology and philosophy, and church administration.
Students must be accepted to HSU and then audition for the School of Music to be admitted to the program and be eligible for a potential music scholarship. This degree also includes 15 hours of Logsdon ministry core courses, so students receive the full benefit of the pastoral and theological training available, with an overall emphasis on music and worship.
Hello & Welcome from our Worship Director
Thank you for your interest in our Music: Worship Leadership degree! My name is Tiffany Stotts and I am the creator and director of this degree at Hardin-Simmons. Throughout my 20 years of being a worship leader I was constantly surprised at how little was offered in terms of undergraduate training for students and adults looking for a potential career in leading worship or pastoring in a worship atmosphere. We have worked hard to create a degree that truly prepares students to be a successful leader and Christ-follower in worship ministry.
I would love the chance to set up a phone call or campus visit to help answer all your questions about this degree, HSU scholarships, and ways to serve the campus and community through becoming a student at HSU! I also want to encourage you to visit one of our student-led chapel services every Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. in Behrens Auditorium during the fall and spring semesters.
Thank you again for your interest and I hope to see you soon! –Tiffany Stotts
