ABOUT CATAWBA.

For a small college, we inspire big dreams  

Located in Salisbury, North Carolina, Catawba College is a small college (about 1,300 students) where professors, staff members and other students will encourage you to pursue big dreams. You will transform your ideas of what’s possible through classes, mentoring, internships, research, study abroad and service. The result? A clearer sense of your life’s work and the résumé to make it happen.

Up For A challenge?

At Catawba College, we will inspire you to excel intellectually. We'll encourage you to grow through small, interactive classes, research projects, fieldwork, dinners at professors’ homes, honors symposia, after-class discussions, competitions, travel courses, and the magic of our supportive community. 

In turn, Catawba students inspire the close-knit campus to witness their mastery of course materials, their successes, their personal growth and their grace and fortitude as they strive for individual excellence inside and outside of the classroom.
