Our
Mission
“The mission of Campbell University is to graduate
students with exemplary academic and professional skills
who are prepared for purposeful lives and meaningful
service. The University is informed and inspired by its
Baptist heritage and three basic theological and biblical
presuppositions: learning is appointed and conserved by
God as essential to the fulfillment of human destiny; in
Christ all things consist and find ultimate unity; and the
Kingdom of God in this world is rooted and grounded in
Christian community. The University embraces the
conviction that there is no conflict between the life of
faith and the life of inquiry.”

Why
Campbell?
•  Smaller class sizes
–  Class sizes generally range from as low as 10-12 up to 65
students in Western Civilization classes.
–  Senior Seminar classes average 12 students.
•  More individual advisement
–  You’re not just “a number”
–  Students are required to meet with their advisers every
semester to discuss schedules and progress (but WILL work
with them much more frequently)

More “face time” with faculty

recommendations for graduate programs
•  Opportunities for undergraduate research with faculty
