The central thread in the history of the University is the development of the College and its curriculum. Founded in 1887 as an academy, the institution has experienced no interruption in the work of its faculty. Until 1925, it was Buie’s Creek Academy; from then until 1963, it was a well-respected junior college. Beginning with the class of 1963, Campbell College became a four-year senior institution; then, with the graduation of the first class from the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law, Campbell became a university. Thus, the College of Arts and Sciences evolved as the successor undergraduate College within the larger body of the University. Its graduates span the globe, serving in a wide variety of fields and callings. The purpose of the University is derived from that of the College; succinctly stated, it is to educate and encourage its students of all ages to think, live, and serve others in a forthright, Christian way. The success of this College as an exemplar of excellence in education in a Christian community in a secularized society is a credit to the vision of its founder, Rev. J. A. Campbell, and to the achievements of his successor presidents, Leslie Campbell, and Norman A. Wiggins.

Majors, Minors, and Pre-Professional Programs
Each Campbell College student is required to declare a major by the beginning of the junior year, but has the option not to select a minor field of study. Pre-professional programs include pre-law, pre-pharmacy, pre-medical/dental, and pre-seminary, as well as a pre-engineering program approved by North Carolina State University. Class sizes vary from eighty in science lectures to twenty-four in science labs to thirty-five in humanities lectures to twenty-five in freshman English to less than fifteen in senior humanities seminars.

Faculty of the College
Along with its students, the College’s greatest asset is its faculty. Some of the senior members have served the school for four decades; they impart not only academic knowledge, but also wisdom to their students and institutional memory to their colleagues. Over eighty percent of the faculty have the highest available degree in their teaching discipline; that percentage is growing as the former junior college faculty retire.

The University Trustees named the law school in 1987 in honor of the founding president.

The decision to establish the School of Law was not lightly taken; it was made with the firm conviction that the Campbell University School of Law and its graduates would help meet needs presently unmet, particularly in the southeastern United States.

This School of Law was not designed to be one that duplicates in every detail the emphasis and programs of existing law schools. Rather, its intention was to formulate a unique program to educate a particular type of lawyer for whom there is a special and continuing need.

Campbell educates lawyers who are prepared from the outset of their careers to serve their communities with legal skill and ethical and intellectual leadership, in the noblest tradition of the counselor.

The Campbell University School of Law is purposely small, with a tradition of admitting no more than 110-120 students per class. While its academic program is arduous, its rural village setting and commitment to human values are designed to enhance one’s likelihood of success as a student and as a lawyer in any setting in which one chooses to practice.

The Lundy-Fetterman School of Business is committed to being a leader among business schools engaging faculty, staff, and students in both hands-on learning and academic exploration as a community of Christian scholars.
