College Tour: Campbell University

The final stop on our summer college tour, following High Point, was Campbell University.  

 

The Basics 

Campbell is a private college located in Buies Creek, North Carolina. They have about 6000 students with a 16:1 student-to-faculty ratio. Aside from their main campus in Buies Creek, there are three other campuses in Raleigh, Camp Lejeune, and Fort Bragg, as well as an online option. 

 

The Christian Aspect 

Campbell seems to be loosely associated with the Baptist church. They are definitely welcoming toward Christians, but they do not have required chapel services, and they do not seem to place a strong emphasis on Christianity. During our tour, they hardly mentioned anything religion related. The About Page on their website calls the university an “inclusive Christian University”. 

 

Academics 

Campbell features a wide list of majors and minors, as well as associate degrees. They also have a 4+1 MBA program for students to obtain a bachelor’s degree and an MBA in five years instead of six. Campbell has an honors program with a 25 credit hour requirement and a study abroad experience. These requirements take the place of some of their general core classes.

Student Life 

Campell is an NCAA Division I school. It has 10 men’s and 11 women’s sports, including cross country, swimming, tennis, men’s wrestling, and women’s lacrosse. They also offer club sports and intramurals, including equestrian, Jiu Jitsu, and spike ball. There are a few Christian ministries and small group options as well.  

 

Admissions and Scholarships 

Campbell has the opportunity for merit, departmental, sponsored, and endowed scholarships. They accept dual enrollment, AP, and CLEP credits. Campbell is not as homeschool friendly as some of the others I have written about, but they are beginning to accept more homeschoolers. Tuition is about $39,360. With other fees (including room and board) it comes out to about $57,773 per year.  

 

I enjoyed my experience learning more about Campbell University as the final stop on our tour.
