About Catawba College

Founded in 1851 and perennially ranked as one of the best colleges in the South, Catawba College provides an education focused on an institutional philosophy of a liberal education, which entails a broad range of knowledge, intellectual and practical skills, and individual and social responsibility fostered and developed in all academic programs. Catawba is a learning community that provides students unique opportunities to explore vocation, helping students to consider their calling, their passions, and their purpose as they prepare to reach their highest potential.

Catawba College’s scenic campus is located within the historic piedmont city of Salisbury, North Carolina, (pop. 34,000), part of the greater Charlotte area. Spread out over 276 wooded acres and 41 buildings, the campus is a beautiful blend of neogothic architecture set on a shaded hillside adjacent to the Center for the Environment facility and the ecological preserve. Centrally located, it is only two hours away from the Appalachian Mountains of western North Carolina and four hours away from some of the best beaches on the Atlantic Coast.  Salisbury is a 45-minute drive from Charlotte Douglas International Airport, one of the busiest airports in the United States (10^th nationwide in passenger traffic in 2022) with links to numerous domestic and overseas destinations.    

Catawba offers 70 academic majors to 1,300 students hailing from 34 U.S. states and 19 foreign countries. Like the student body, the Catawba faculty, constituting nearly 90 full-time members, is broadly diverse. It embodies a significant range of opinion and philosophy, founded in study at many of the nation's leading colleges and universities. Thirty-six percent of students identify as first-generation students, 45 percent of students are Pell-eligible, and 45 percent of first-year students identify as non-white (21 percent African American, 11 percent Hispanic).  All Catawba students receive financial aid, and a significant proportion of financial need is met by the College for most students.  The first-year retention rate for full-time undergraduates is 73 percent.  Within six months of graduation, 97 percent of Catawba alumni are employed professionally or enrolled in graduate school. 

Catawba College enjoys a strong financial picture. The College's endowment of $320 million supports the College's educational and service activities. The remarkable $200 million gift the College received in late 2021 transformed Catawba's future. One-third of the gift is earmarked to provide recurring funding to support and enhance Catawba's well-established programs in environment and sustainability. Two-thirds of the gift is dedicated to supporting strategic initiatives, strengthening student scholarships, enhancing student success programming, promoting a thriving workplace, and investing in faculty excellence.  Catawba has also received gifts in recent years to retire the entirety of the college’s debt, and in 2022, the College received an additional endowment gift of $42 million. 

Finally, the teaching and research of faculty across disciplines have clear links to Catawba College’s identity around sustainability. In April 2023, the College became the 13th campus in the United States to achieve carbon neutrality and the 1^st in North Carolina.  Catawba College is committed to contributing to a more sustainable world through its programs and people.

ABOUT CATAWBA:

Founded in 1851 in Newton, North Carolina, Catawba was started by German pioneers who had traveled from eastern Pennsylvania to settle in the valleys of the Haw, Yadkin, and Catawba Rivers. In 1890, Catawba became a coeducational institution and the first woman graduate completed her studies in 1893. In 1925, Catawba moved and re-opened to its current location in Salisbury, NC, which is about 45 minutes from Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and Charlotte, two hours from the mountains, and four hours from the beaches.
