CLASS OF 2028

I want to congratulate you on your acceptance into my home away from home, High Point University! Our university has given me the best years of my life. Today, I am practicing family medicine as a resident physician in Colorado, thanks to how HPU profoundly influenced my development and that of my peers.

From leadership and academic achievement to social engagement, I have truly transformed. At HPU, I conducted undergraduate research alongside my chemistry professor, presented that research at professional conferences, interned at the National Institutes of Health and played soccer. I credit so much of my success to the individual attention you receive from professors in HPU’s small class sizes.

High Point University attracts a certain type of student — one who wants to grow not only academically but also personally and socially. By living in this inspiring environment, we become kinder, friendlier and lead a more purposeful life. When I graduated, I left with all of the tools I needed for medical school and also with the attributes to be a good friend, steward and global citizen.

The culture of caring is what led me to choose HPU. There are endless resources on campus that enable students to excel academically and personally, including: peer mentors, student Success Coaches, career and professional development services, peer tutoring, and more! High Point University has a pristine campus and beautiful facilities, but the staff mentors who greet you every day with a smile and the professors who spend their personal time ensuring that you succeed academically are what truly make HPU great.

Everyone is willing to go the extra mile to help us develop the quality life skills needed to achieve a life of success and significance. High Point University has a true sense of “we are in this together,” which makes this campus especially unique. Simple things like having lunch with friends, professors, staff members or even with President Qubein are what set this place apart!

I could spend hours writing about how highly I think of my school. While graduation was bittersweet, I couldn’t have wished for a better undergraduate experience. I had truly amazing opportunities that I know would not have been offered by any other institution. High Point University prepared me far beyond what I could have imagined. Come join the HPU family!

Don’t miss out.

Student Life

Live Here. Love it Here.

You deserve to love where you live. That starts with your residence hall. Picture this: You just pulled up to your college dorm with mom and dad. You’re leaving your home, friends and family. You aren’t just carrying plastic bins that are way too heavy from the car to your room. You’re carrying loads of anxiety, too.

Do you want to be greeted by a stuffy old dorm room that adds to that stress? NO WAY! Your residence hall is where you’ll be living. Your home away from home. At HPU, we understand your environment should reflect the incredible educational journey you’re embarking on.

Greeted with nationally ranked dorms, HPU knows you rise to the level of the environment in which you live.

Meet Your New Squad

You’ve spent your entire life at home or at another college, but now you’re deciding where you’re going to live for the rest of your college journey.

Think about this: There are 168 hours in a week. You’ll be in class approximately 20 of those. You’ll be dedicating the rest of your time to joining organizations on campus, conducting undergraduate research, cheering on the HPU Panthers award-winning basketball team, growing through experiential learning opportunities and making friends you’ll keep for the rest of your life.

The High Point University Family

Instant ROI on Your HPU Degree

HPU graduates don’t live in their parent’s basement. In fact, 99% are employed or in graduate school withing 180 days of earning their HPU degree, outperforming the national average by 14 points.

Intensely focused on life skills, HPU graduates enter the workforce with the characteristics employers want. Top companies, such as Amazon and Google, recognize that life skills are the most valuable traits of their workforce.

Scan For More Information

HPU not only prepared me for this job through undergraduate and graduate course work but also through practical applications of knowledge. The amount of experience I had student teaching made me more qualified than other applicants in my field. The Office of Career and Professional Development helped me develop a resume that stood out to the international schools where I applied.

The physics and computer science departments at High Point University were such a huge factor in helping me land this amazing position at my dream company. Both in the classroom and outside of it, professors were always willing to help me work through my questions and provide insight on how to achieve my career goals.

High Point University showed me my academic potential and what I could achieve if I challenged myself every day. I learned through classes, professors and friends that I am capable of being so much more than what I gave myself credit for. It gave me self-confidence, which has helped me achieve my day-to-day tasks and my long-term goals.

HPU helped me achieve my goals through their holistic approach to a life skills education. I learned how to make myself a standout candidate for positions, inside and outside of the classroom. HPU has so many resources to advance you personally, professionally and spiritually.

Your Tuition-Free Master’s Degree

You won’t find this opportunity anywhere else! When you complete your undergraduate degree at HPU, you’re eligible for the Tuition-Free Master’s Degree in Communication and Business Leadership — designed to be relevant to all majors.

High Point University’s Master of Arts in Communication and Business Leadership provides the full complement of analytical and practical life skills resulting in exceptional communicators that employ interdisciplinary principles of business management. This program develops students’ strategic thinking and messaging, relationship building, organizational leadership, logical analysis, negotiation and complex problem-solving abilities.

These TOP benefits demonstrate how HPU’s tuition-free master’s degree is the obvious choice — an opportunity you won’t find on any other college campus.

1. You pay $0 tuition for a degree that costs between $40,000 and $80,000.1

2. Graduate degree recipients earn, on average, $17,000 more per year than someone with only an undergraduate degree. In only six years, you could earn $100,000 MORE than your peers who only earned a bachelor’s degree!2

3. Earning your graduate degree immediately after you complete your undergraduate degree, rather than delaying and jeopardizing the possibility, maximizes the amount of time you’ll have to achieve success in your career.

4. Earning your graduate degree increases the likelihood that your career can remain strong through inevitable disruptions to the global marketplace.3

1 Estimated 2024 master’s program tuition cost varying by program

3 A Strada Education Survey reported that those with graduate degrees fared better in the job market than other degree holders during the height of the global pandemic.

Unprecedented Access to Global Leaders

Netflix. Apple. The NBA. Domino’s. You know the brands. You’ll work with the business leaders behind them.

One of the components of HPU’s transformational process is the access to innovators the university intentionally provides to students.

HPU knows that connecting students with people who have changed the world unlocks their ability to believe in themselves and accomplish goals they once didn’t know were possible.

When students meet leaders like Netflix Co-Founder Marc Randolph, HPU’s Entrepreneur in Residence, or Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak, HPU’s Innovator in Residence, they receive valuable coaching and insightful feedback that impacts their development as a person.

5Mentorship Is a Mindset

At HPU, students are mentored by dedicated faculty and staff in an environment that inspires them to reach for new heights during their time at HPU and beyond.

Students see a member of the Campus Enhancement team work with care and diligence to clear every sidewalk of snow. They receive a hug and an open ear from the cafeteria worker with whom they develop a bond. They see leaders walking across campus, engaging with students and pausing to pick up a stray piece of trash if spotted.

HPU students benefit from an ecosystem of mentorship and support. From career advisors to faculty advisors, peer mentors and even club sports (which have their own professional coaches), there is no shortage of opportunities for constructive feedback.

No one in life gets far without the help of others. HPU understands this. That’s why the university has forged a culture where students are surrounded by coaches who care.

The mentors on HPU’s campus helped me get to where I am now. HPU prepared me for the future and helped me achieve my goals by allowing me to be involved in so many different campus organizations. I was also encouraged to start a new club for HPU’s hospitality program. The staff in the Office of Career and Professional Development helped me edit my resume and search for internships. It was always easy to visit during drop-in hours or make an appointment with a career advisor.”

My most impactful mentor at HPU was Larry Quinn, chair of the department of marketing and sales. After my first sales course with Professor Quinn, I knew that a career in sales was right for me. I joined the sales club, and from that point, Professor Quinn became more than just a professor. Professor Quinn and I are featured in a series together on HPU’s new streaming service HPU+ titled ‘Mentorship Matters’ which highlights how valuable he was to my success.”

Our investment in each student’s success goes much deeper than their discipline — we are committed to equipping students with the life skills necessary to be successful in their career and in life’s daily interactions.

HPU’s campus is filled with real-world facilities that further instill life skills. For example, 1924 PRIME and Alo, two fine-dining restaurants, allow HPU students to build confidence in professional settings beyond the office and gain international cuisine and culture experience. We use many other common exchanges and interactions to teach the art of persuasion, effective communication and other skills that help HPU students stand out.

Life Skills Learning Labs 7

While some universities provide an etiquette class during a student’s senior year, HPU provides students with several years of career preparation inside two different fine-dining restaurants. 1924 PRIME, HPU’s flagship restaurant, and Alo, HPU’s boutique hotel restaurant, provide the perfect atmosphere for students to engage in a unique type of learning laboratory. In addition to HPU’s two fine-dining restaurants, Panther Commons will be home to Kazoku, a family-style teppanyaki experience that also serves as a learning laboratory for students.

At 1924 PRIME, students practice their interview skills in a setting where they can develop confidence while at the same time gaining familiarity with international cuisine and culture. Similarly at Alo, students practice interviewing, focus on continental dining style and learn to be comfortable with European dining etiquette and protocol. Students dine at either restaurant once per week, which is included in the HPU dining plan.

When HPU graduates enter the workforce, they not only know how to ace the interview, but they’re also comfortable and confident in various business settings. This prepares them for a lifetime of success. Just picture it: after you accept the job offer, your boss asks you to take an international client to dinner. Or you’re meeting colleagues after work to offer a major proposal.

Accelerated Access to Research

At HPU, students are introduced to undergraduate research opportunities from day one.

While many universities reserve research opportunities for upperclassmen or graduate students, HPU students are introduced to undergraduate research opportunities right away. Employers want graduates who can communicate well, be resilient and problem solve. Those are the foundational skills of conducting research. HPU provides research opportunities for students in every major, from being coached by a faculty researcher on campus to landing impressive research experiences for undergraduates (commonly called REUs) through institutions such as the National Science Foundation, Duke University, the American Institute of Physics, Columbia University and others.

The High Point University Research Rookies Program works to incorporate students into the university’s culture of research and creative work, early in their undergraduate careers. The program is designed to create a community of undergraduate scholars and help build research-related skills to prepare students for faculty collaborative scholarship that makes an original contribution to one’s field. Getting involved in research or creative works in college helps students build unique credentials to distinguish themselves from among the two million other students they will graduate among and compete with for jobs or entrance into graduate and professional schools!

Access to an All-Star Alumni Network

From Google and Amazon to NBC, Rolling Stone magazine, Coca-Cola and more, HPU alumni forge careers at top-tier global companies and then commit to regular campus visits where they mentor current students, give valuable career advice and discuss career opportunities within their companies.

Access to such alumni is part of why 99% of HPU graduates begin their career or continue their education within 180 days of graduation.

Naming only a few, HPU’s All-Star Alumni include:

Values-Based Living and Learning

You’ll first notice it when you drive onto campus.

A security officer smiling to greet you. A professor stooping down to pick up a stray piece of trash along the Kester International Promenade. The President of HPU waving as you walk to class. A student holding the door for you.

Those gestures happen every day on the campus of High Point University. While seemingly insignificant, they make a big impact.

Many schools forget that the most important aspect of your life is the values on which you stand. HPU’s campus is designed to inspire and we proudly celebrate faith, gratitude, patriotism, generosity, civility and more. As HPU President Nido Qubein often reminds faculty and staff, “You can’t teach values. Instead, we must model a values-based approach to life. Students watch, they listen and they learn.”

Faculty and staff model the values of service, joy, generosity, gratitude and respect because they know that students are paying attention to the actions of those around them.

the hpu family annually contributes Back to TOC

When students are surrounded by people who have a positive attitude, they begin to understand that nothing is impossible for the individual who is willing to work hard enough and smart enough.

And when students graduate and pursue professional careers, they go on to lead lives of success but also lives of significance.

Your Dining Options

With 20+ dining venues located throughout campus, HPU offers a variety of menu options to suit all of our students’ palates.
