Harding gives students the opportunity to attend study-abroad programs in Australia, Chile, England, France/Switzerland, Greece, Italy and Zambia. Athletics plays a vital role in campus life, and Harding’s facilities are among the finest in the South. The Clifton L. Ganus Jr. Athletic Center, completed in 1976, serves as the hub of the athletics program. The 82,000-square-foot structure houses offices, classrooms, locker rooms, a 25-yard natatorium, a gymnastics room, a weight room, handball-racquetball courts and a 5,200-seat gymnasium with Pro-Turf surfacing and an indoor track. Adjacent to the Athletic Center is the 6,000-capacity newly remodeled First Security Stadium, which is encircled by Ted Lloyd Track, a 400-meter, nine-lane latex track. Rhodes Field House (3,000) has been extensively remodeled and became the home for the intercollegiate basketball and volleyball teams in 1997. Harding has been a full member of the NCAA Division II since 1997 and moved into the Gulf South Conference in 2000.
