The mission of the Department of Kinesiology is to prepare Christian professionals for careers in teaching, coaching and sports-related business in the area of kinesiology.
The department offers Bachelor of Arts degrees in kinesiology (non-licensure) and sports management, and the Bachelor of Science degree kinesiology licensure. The kinesiology licensure major prepares students to teach health and physical education and coach in elementary and secondary schools. The nonlicensure kinesiology and sports management majors prepare students for careers other than teaching.
Minors are offered in kinesiology, health, and coaching.
The institutional requirement of 3 hours in kinesiology can be met by KINS 101 and 1 additional hour from the following: KINS 112 , KINS 117 , KINS 118 , KINS 119 , KINS 121 , KINS 122 , KINS 125 , KINS 126 , KINS 128 , KINS 131 , KINS 132 , KINS 133 , KINS 214 ; and, for kinesiology majors and minors and sports management majors, KINS 355 , KINS 356 . Students who transfer to Harding with fewer than 2 hours of physical activity courses must take KINS 101 .
Veterans who have spent at least one year in continuous active military duty may receive credit for the 3 hours of kinesiology required by Harding by filing a written request with the registrar and submitting a copy of the DD214.
