Leading with Purpose

Leading from the start

Then a 25-year-old Baptist minister, J.A. Campbell founded Campbell University in 1887 when there were no other schools in the area. We continue his vision today to serve our community and to prepare students to lead with purpose.

Our history

"Here at Campbell we foster that environment where . . . you have to give it your best shot and take a risk to get out there and make the change or be the change that you want to be."

Trevor Hartley

Our location across four campuses and online makes us a place of opportunities.
