University Learning Outcomes


The mission of Harding University is to provide a quality education that will lead to an understanding and philosophy of life consistent with Christian ideals. As stated in its mission documents, Harding University is a private Christian institution of higher education committed to the tradition of the liberal arts and sciences. As a liberal arts university, the faculty of Harding University believe that the knowledge, skills, and perspectives gained through a study of the liberal arts is a key component to success in all of our programs and in any profession.
