Summer Study Abroad

Choose Your Own Adventure

Summer 2026 study abroad just became more flexible than ever. This summer, you can choose from 4, 6, 10, or 12 week study abroad options designed to fit your schedule. Join us at Harding University Florence (HUF), Harding University Greece (HUG), and/or Harding in Zambia (HIZ) this summer through our new “Choose Your Own Adventure” model.

Instead of committing to a single, fixed three-month program, you can now build a study abroad experience that works alongside a job, internship, camp, family vacation, or other summer plans without missing out on the life-changing experience of studying abroad.

And if you’ve already studied abroad with us, why not go again? With shorter, more affordable options, you can return to your Italian or Greek home before graduating or take the opportunity to explore a new program and a new place.
