Kinesiology Programs | Teaching, Coaching, Sport Management

The programs in Physical Education and Sport & Recreation Management provide our students with discipline-specific knowledge, skill practice, and professional experience via classroom instruction and student teaching or internship capstone experiences necessary for advanced graduate studies and professional careers.

Our department fosters the development of spiritual, physical, social, emotional, clinical and culturally diverse skills to enhance the human behavior and well being of all populations.

The mission of the Department of Kinesiology is to prepare Christian professionals for careers in teaching, coaching, and sport and recreation management.

Recreation

Interested in athletics? Harding offers multiple opportunities for students to stay active through the Recreation Program. Our intramural and social club athletics are coordinated out of the recreation program and provide a place for students to play organized athletics in flag football, basketball, volleyball, softball, soccer, and other sports. Refer to the Harding Walking Trails pdf for convenient routes to walk or jog on campus.

Travel Club Sports gives students a chance to compete against other institutions or individuals in a variety of activities. Harding’s Travel Club Sports program currently contains nine sports, and potentially will be looking to add more in the future.
