The Harding Honors Symposium is a two-week academic program on the Searcy campus designed to challenge, encourage, and uplift high school students who are now in their junior year (students graduating in the class of 2009). Those who are accepted into the Symposium attend class with outstanding professors, engage in community service projects, enjoy recreational activities and invariably form lasting friendships with other junior scholars.

Three hours of university credit is awarded to all who successfully complete the Symposium. This credit is transferable to the college or university of the participant's choice. The course content is designed to appeal to students of both the humanities and the sciences. At Harding, Symposium credit may be applied to the following courses:

• English 201 or 202
• History 101, 102, 110 or 111
• Art 101
• Music 101

In the previous five years, students from more than 40 states and six foreign countries have attended the Symposium.
