The Big Questions

About Harding

Create active citizens and flourishing people

 

The goal of a Harding education is the pursuit of enlightened knowledge that allows us to discern truth. We aim to create active citizens and flourishing people who take from their education a strong allegiance to Christ. We do this through specialty instruction in our majors, minors, certificate and graduate programs, and in The Core courses that every student takes.

A Shared Experience

The Core and our academic majors are anchored in The Big Questions — those that humans spend their whole lives contemplating. At Harding, we consider these questions in every part of campus life: in chapel, in the classroom, in the dorm, in the lab, at the coffee shop, on the field, on the stage. You’ll graduate with a toolbox full of approaches to those questions as well as a continued desire to explore what it means to live a good life.
The Core

Changing the World

These questions encourage shared language for a unified story, and each one leads to additional questions for further consideration. In your chosen major, you’ll be challenged with discipline-specific language that will broaden and deepen your understanding and worldview. We do not pursue these questions merely as an academic exercise but rather to discern truth that changes our lives and strengthens our faith. In a dynamic job market, people of character who can think and communicate well are positioned to change the global marketplace. When you combine your education with soft skills and the servant ethic of Jesus Christ, you can change the world. Discover your inspired purpose!
