Occupational Therapy at Harding

Harding's 24-month occupational therapy program aims to provide an immersive experience to guide students in acquiring a deep understanding of occupation, the core principles and processes of occupational therapy, and the values of professionalism and integrity in their practice.

As such, the curriculum is designed to encourage personal growth, character formation and the integration of faith and mission into their professional practice. The ultimate goal is to equip students to become competent and compassionate change agents in society and the profession, prepared to make a positive impact in the lives of people from all backgrounds — both advantaged and disadvantaged.

Hands-on Experience

We believe that learning is most effective when students engage in hands-on experiences, actively doing, reflecting, planning and redoing. Knowledge is strengthened when students have increased opportunities to experience, reflect upon and apply what they have learned.

A Christian Perspective

The mission of the occupational therapy program at Harding University is to educate and inspire students to become skilled occupational therapy practitioners committed to lifelong learning. Our graduates will exemplify the principles of faith, servant leadership and ethical care, making a lasting impact guided by the teachings of Christ.
