Chowan University is a four-year co-education intuition. It is the second oldest of North Carolina's seven

Baptist Colleges. Chowan opened in 1848 as a four year college for women, Chowan Baptist Female institute.

It was renamed Chowan College in 1910, admitted male students in 1931, and established itself as one of the

leading junior colleges in the South in 1937. In 1992 the college returned to four year status. In April of 2006

Chowan President, Dr. M. Christopher White announced the changing of the institutions name from Chowan

College to Chowan University. The University fulfills its mission with a careful blend of both liberal arts and pro-

fessional courses. Recognizing that such a blend of knowledge and experience is particularly suited to the

needs of contemporary society. Chowan takes as priority the need to connect general education with

specialized education, theoretical learning with practical learning, and intellectual skills with vocational skills.

Set amid 300 acres of woodlands embracing beautiful Lake Vann, Chowan’s main entrance leads gracefully

around a college green to an antebellum mansion known as the McDowell Columns Building. Sixteen major

buildings of contemporary design provide air-conditioned residence, academic and recreational facilities. The

small-town university campus attracts students from at least twenty seven states and several countries each

year. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools fully accredits Chowan University to offer the

bachelor’s degree.
