High Point University

An environment of excellence
In a continued tradition of excellence, High Point University was again ranked as the #1 Regional College in the South and the #1 Most Innovative Regional College in the South by U.S. News & World Report.

Demand to attend High Point University is at an all-time high. Professors from Ivy League and other prestigious universities are flocking to teach at HPU, while 95% of our graduates are securing jobs with leading global companies such as Google and Apple and are accepted into prominent graduate schools across the country.

Student centered
With an average class size of 17 and 100% of our classes taught by faculty, our professors won’t just know your name—they will know who you are and who you want to become.

HPU offers 47 majors and 51 minors. Our student-faculty ratio is 15:1, and free tutoring is available for all students. Our small classroom size ensures that every student receives the personal attention they deserve. In addition, ESL is available through the American Language Academy.

Making HPU your home
Our current student body represents 50 states and 37 countries, providing the school with great diversity in student interests and experiences. Ranked one of the Top 12 Safest College Campuses in America, High Point University will offer you a safe community that will feel like home. In addition, HPU is one of only three private universities in North Carolina to have a full-time medical doctor serving as the director of the Student Health Center.

Cultivating success and significance
HPU provides you with the tools to connect and collaborate with global leaders in your area of study. Our Undergraduate Research and Creative Works opportunities, which are available to you starting your freshman year, will give you unparalleled résumé-building opportunities, while our state-of-the-art academic facilities will give you access to not only today’s latest technology but tomorrow’s cutting-edge learning tools.

International Club
The International Club is one of the most vibrant organizations on campus. The goal of the International Club is to promote diversity within the HPU community. The organization focuses on creating a welcoming global environment for all students while embracing cultural differences and creating international awareness in the community. The club sponsors activities for members such as an international fair, international dinners, and weekend trips and excursions. International Week is a great chance for all of our international students to share their culture and heritage with other HPU students.

Learn from international leaders
University President Dr. Nido Qubein came to America at the age of 17 with little money and a limited command of the English language. His achievements since then have earned him the Ellis Island Medal of Honor and induction into the Horatio Alger Society of Distinguished Americans. The President’s Seminar on Life Skills is a required course for every freshman in which students reap the benefits of Dr. Qubein’s lifetime of learning and achievement.

In addition to Dr. Qubein, HPU has garnered the support of many influential leaders. Our National Board of Advisors includes former Secretary of State, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and National Security Advisor General Colin L. Powell; co-founder of Apple Steve Wozniak; and President and CEO of La-Z-Boy Inc. Kurt L. Darrow.
