The HSU was affiliated with Florida Theological Seminary ( FTS) in Orlando, Florida since 1998 with the help of Dr. Harold L. Shindoll. Then become independent University in June 2004. In time, enrollment interest from various parts of the country virtually compelled the establishment of an extension/distance directed studies program in which the instruction portion of each course is given via video, audio, or in a few cases, via proctored direction. Soon, inquiries began coming from local churches desiring distance learning.

Numerous Distance Learning students are enrolling, both in the U.S.A. and various other countries and continents, as a result of the ever-increasing realization by ministers, ministry associations, denominations, as well as individual believers of the great need for proper Biblical training and spiritual development in these last days in which questionable and heretical doctrine, deception, and false spirituality abound. All our courses are available in both English and Arabic(To cover the whole world include all twenty two Arab nations).
