From High Point University

You may recognize High Point University, The Premier Life Skills University, because of our successful career placement rate. HPU is a national leader in job and graduate school outcomes with 99% of HPU graduates launching careers or beginning graduate school within 180 days of graduation - 13 points higher than the national average! Or you may have seen our Division I athletic teams take the nation by storm, including our men's basketball team during March Madness. 

Families from across the country and around the globe are flocking to HPU as the world takes notice of how we transform the lives of our students. With a campus and curriculum that have entirely transformed since 2005 under the leadership of HPU President Nido Qubein, HPU knows a thing or two about transformation. A $3 billion investment in academic programs and student life facilities, including 11 new academic schools and the $100 million Charman Library opening in 2027, proves HPU's commitment to academic innovation. 

The university currently offers 64 undergraduate majors, 74 undergraduate minors, 57 study abroad programs, 13 pre-professional programs and 19 graduate programs. At HPU, every student receives an extraordinary education in an inspiring environment with caring people, from a Success Coach for every freshman to the required President's Seminar on Life Skills. Our call to action is profound and simple: Choose to be extraordinary!
