The Child Development Center serves the educational and child care needs of the young children (2 ½ to 4 years old) of Hampton University employees and families in the surrounding community.

The Division of Professional Education works collaboratively with the seven departments in the Schools of Liberal Arts, Science, and Business to prepare candidates for professional certification as (PK-12) educators, counselors, and principals.

The Department of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation is part of the Division of Professional Education, and offers Bachelor of Science degree programs in Recreation and Tourism, and Sports Management.

The division partners with the Schools of Nursing and Business to offer programs related to Nurse Practitioner training and Business Management respectively.
