Studying abroad provides an opportunity to transform the way you view yourself, your faith, your neighbor, and the world we share. Embarking on a journey of discovery alongside Harding students and faculty will provide endless opportunities for community, experiential learning, service and adventure. A semester abroad provides the ideal environment to develop confidence as you experience unique places and cultures. Students who study abroad gain skills in critical thinking and cultural literacy that will provide lifelong benefits as they pursue their educational and professional goals.
Harding offers semester-long study abroad programs in Italy, Greece, Europe, Latin America, Zambia and Australasia. Each program travels extensively during the semester and opportunities for additional independent travel may be available. Shorter summer programs focusing on business, education, biochemistry, art & design, athletic training and music are also available. When you communicate with your academic advisor, please inform them of your interest in studying abroad. All semester-long programs are open to students of any major and your advisor can help you find the best fit for a semester abroad in your degree plan.
Applications for Harding's International Programs are accepted at any time from prospective participants. Applications are accepted from students of Harding University and other institutions of higher learning. At the time of participation, students must have completed a minimum of 27 semester hours with a grade point average of 2.0 or higher.

Students accepted into our International Program will be provided a handbook with useful information on obtaining a passport, courses offered, a calendar for the semester and other pertinent topics to prepare them for the experience.
