The Honors College cultivates opportunities for highly motivated students to grow in leadership, service and academic excellence through shared experiences that are informed by faith and focus on the development of the whole person. The college is committed to building a stimulating undergraduate experience that enhances the academic profile of students as they pursue opportunities after Harding.
All honors students are required to remain engaged in the Honors College during their time as undergraduate students. To demonstrate such engagement, students must earn at least one unit from either the Academic or Leadership and Service areas each semester. Students who do not meet the expectation in a given semester will be placed on probation in the Honors College during the following semester.
