The study employs the literature reseach method, mathematical statistics method, and logical analysis method, to review the evolutionary process of undergraduate program setup in sports disciplines in China's private colleges, and to analyze its epochal characteristics and future trends. The findings indicate that since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the development of undergraduate programs in sport disciplines in China's private colleges can be divided into four phases: the embryonic period, the slow development period, the initial standardization period, and the deepening and improvement period. These phases are characterized by a continuous increase in the number of program offerings, a convergence in program structures, and an unbalanced distribution of disciplinary structures across different types of colleges. In the context of socialism with Chinese characteristics entering a new era, the setting of undergraduate sports disciplines in China's private colleges will exhibit the following trends: 1) the number of emerging undergraduate majors will increase, and cross-discipinary undergraduate programs will emerge; 2) undergraduate sports majors will be established by integrating regional advantages and meet the industrial demands; 3) the characteristics of internationalized education will be highlighted.
