Descrierea universitatii (pe baza site-ului oficial)
Harding University is a private Christian institution of higher education committed to the tradition of the liberal arts and sciences. It is composed of the following academic units: a College of Arts and Humanities, a College of Bible and Religion, a College of Business Administration, a College of Education, a College of Nursing, a College of Sciences; and graduate programs in business, education, marriage and family therapy, physician assistant studies, and religion. The University serves a diverse, coeducational student body from across the United States and around the world, although the primary constituency for students and financial support is the fellowship of the churches of Christ. The board of trustees, the administration and the faculty believe that the freedom to pursue truth and high academic achievement is compatible with the Christian principles to which the University is committed. The faculty is dedicated to excellence in teaching, scholarship and service, and to their role as models of Christian living. The University community seeks to provide an environment that both supports students and challenges them to realize their full potential. Thus, Harding's mission is to provide a quality education that will lead to an understanding and philosophy of life consistent with Christian ideals.
Harding University is located in Searcy, Ark., a community with an approximate population of 20,000. The University has an enrollment of more than 6,100 students. These students come from all over the United States and more than 40 foreign countries. As a private institution, Harding University is governed by a board of trustees and is operated by administrative officers and more than 275 faculty members.
Financial aid:
Approximately 90 percent of Harding students receive some form of financial assistance, and nearly $60 million in financial aid was processed last year. These funds come from federal, state, and private sources. Even so, the primary responsibility for funding your education is placed on you and your family.
