The mission of ADVANCE is to help students become active, independent learners who possess the skills necessary to succeed across the curriculum. The program is designed for students who enter Harding with ACT composites of 18 and below or O-SAT combined verbal-math scores of 770 and below or R-SAT scores of 890 and below.

The ADVANCE curriculum consists of five courses and labs designed as leveling work for Liberal Arts courses. ADVANCE courses carry college credit and count toward degree requirements only when they can be used as free electives. A grade of “C” is required to pass each course. Deficiencies in all areas must be satisfied within three semesters in order to complete the program and remain enrolled at Harding.
