Educating the whole person is the mantra at High Point University. Located in the heart of North Carolina, HPU offers opportunities to excel inside and outside the classroom. This holistic approach connects classroom content with real world context to prepare students for the world as its going to be.

The campus, which has undergone a major transformation in the last 10 years, combines a close-knit community with major university resources. The majority of classes have enrollments of less than 25, allowing students to receive one-on-one mentorship in courses taught entirely by esteemed faculty.

HPU also offers 16 NCAA Division I athletic programs and numerous extra-curricular opportunities.
