Gardner-Webb University

Gardner-Webb's student community brings together learners from 45 countries, 44 states, and 91 North Carolina counties. Campus life combines activities, career development, and a Christ-centered approach to learning. Students can study on the main campus in Boiling Springs or choose online undergraduate options, while graduate applicants can select from more than 30 courses of study. The main campus offers over 60 major and minor programs, and the university presents more than 80 majors and minors overall. Faith and learning are placed together as students develop academically, spiritually, and personally, with preparation for lives of purpose, service, and impact.

Set across 225 acres in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains, Gardner-Webb offers a small-college-town setting with restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, stores, museums, and galleries nearby. Outdoor options include the Greenway, river activities, Crowder's Mountain, and Blue Ridge views. Charlotte, Greenville, and Asheville are within an hour or less by car, adding access to sports, parks, restaurants, arts, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. International students should know that the university accepts the Common Application, offers main-campus and online routes, and provides professional and continuing education through Searight PACE. PACE courses are available online and in person, cover all disciplines, and include programs such as paralegal studies, clinical mental health counseling, agribusiness entrepreneurship, corporate training, leadership, supply chain, and human resources. In-person PACE classes are held at the Charlotte Campus Center unless otherwise noted.
