Requirements

Liberal Arts: 33 Hours

All majors at Harding are required to complete the 47-hour Liberal Arts program. The following Liberal Arts requirements are met within the content of the major:

Biology, chemistry, and mathematics satisfy 9 hours of Inquiry, Investigation, and Reasoning.
ENGR 3100 satisfies 4 hours of Self and Society. According to Arkansas State Law, international students are required to take POLS 1787 , which will increase the number of hours for the major.

Recommended:

BDOC 2030 and BHIS 3040 or BHIS 3050 will count toward the Historical and Literary Perspective and reduce the number of required Bible/electives.
BMIS 3000 is strongly recommended to satisfy 3 hours of Self and Society and reduce the number of required Bible/electives.
