The Campbell Brand
The sense of Belonging and Community is a vital part of the Campbell culture. We seek to be a place of learning, unity and Christian community.
Students are encouraged to identify their unique gifts and interests while developing proficiency and knowledge in their chosen professions.
In the classroom, lab, studio and field, Campbell opens doors for students to gain hands-on experience and insight into academic, social, professional and spiritual growth.
Our knowledgeable and appropriate faculty create exceptional learning environments for students to explore career and research opportunities.
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.
