Harding University in Greece (HUG)

Harding University in Greece (HUG) is housed in the Artemis, a former hotel (named after a nearby ancient temple to Artemis) in the Mediterranean beach town of Porto Rafti, located just outside of Athens. Daily life at HUG looks like students enjoying meals prepared by a Greek cook before heading out to enjoy the beach, hiking “HUG Mountain,” meandering through the small town or heading into Athens. Travels take the group all over Greece to many biblical cities such as Athens, Corinth, Philippi, Thessaloniki and Berea, as well as sites important to Greek history such as Olympia, Delphi, Mycenae, Thermopylae and more. HUG students also explore sites in Egypt, including Cairo, the Giza pyramids, the Sphinx, the Nile River, and more! At the end of the semester, students have the option to travel independently across Europe before heading home! The HUG program takes place during each Spring and Summer semester and travels with a maximum of 40 students each semester.

New One Month Summer Program:

Students interested in a shorter study abroad experience may apply for the one month summer study abroad program in Greece. Students will tour Greece for four weeks and enjoy coastal living at Harding's property in the Mediterranean beach town of Porto Rafti, located just outside of Athens. At the end of the program, students will then have the option to travel independently across Europe before heading home. Please see specific pricing information and course offerings for this shorter program option below.

The 2025 One Month at HUG program is set to take place from May 12 - June 7.

I was able to fall back in love with history, something that as a science major I have really missed.
