In 1926, the school attained junior college status and changed its name from Buies Creek Academy to Campbell Junior College. In 1961, Campbell became a senior college. The name was changed to Campbell University on June 6, 1979.
Graduate Programs were begun in 1977, with the Master of Education degree. The Master of Science in Government was established in 1982.
The Campbell University School of Law was founded in 1976, and the Lundy-Fetterman School of Business was begun in 1983. The Schools of Pharmacy (now College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences) and Education were established in 1985. The Divinity School was established in 1996.  Campbell is currently making steps towards the establishment of a School of Osteopathic Medicine, with a proposed start date of 2013.
In addition to the main campus in Buies Creek, Campbell also has additional campuses in Raleigh, Research Triangle Park and Camp Lejeune, as well as degree program in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Staton accepted to Averett University

Please congratulate Federica Staton on her recent acceptance to Averett University in Danville, VA.  Way to go Federica!

Founded in 1859, Averett has a long history preparing women and men to be leaders in their careers and in their communities.

Averett began as a school for young women at a time when educating women was not a popular idea. That spirit of innovation has continued as we were among the first in Virginia to create an accelerated program for working adults and are among the select few in the nation to offer bachelor's degrees in aeronautics and equestrian studies.

This history of Averett offers a glimpse of where we have been and perhaps a hint of where we are going.

We hope you enjoy your journey.

Musacchio accepted to UNC-Charlotte

Please congratulate Alexa Musacchio on her recent acceptance to the University of North Carolina - Charlotte.  Way to go Alexa!

UNC Charlotte is one of a generation of universities founded in metropolitan areas of the United States immediately after World War II in response to rising education demands generated by the war and its technology. To serve returning veterans, North Carolina opened 14 evening college centers in communities across the state. The Charlotte Center opened Sept. 23, 1946, offering evening classes to 278 freshmen and sophomore students in the facilities of Charlotte’s Central High School. After three years, the state closed the centers, declaring that on-campus facilities were sufficient to meet the needs of returning veterans and recent high school graduates.

Musacchio accepted to North Greenville University

Please congratulate Alexa Musacchio on her recent acceptance to North Greenville University in Tigerville, SC.  Way to go Alexa!

As a Christian school, North Greenville University must keep the emphasis upon the person and work of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, true God and true man who died as the substitutionary atonement for the forgiveness of sin, was resurrected from the dead, and now reigns as the living Lord. The University is Christian when this Christ is the head and center of all its thinking and conduct.

An education at North Greenville University is regarded as preparation for effective Christian service and witness. The Bible, as the inspired and infallible Word of God, is the solid foundation of the curriculum and the basis of the philosophy of education and of life.

We care about the spiritual well-being of our students as well as their academic achievements.
Attendance at North Greenville University is a privilege, and not a right, which may be forfeited by any student who does not conform to the standards and regulations of the institution. The University may request the withdrawal at any time of any student, who, in the opinion of the university, does not fit into the spirit of the institution, regardless of whether that student conforms to its specific rules and regulations.
