A growth mindset is empowering. Your talents and abilities can be developed through hard work, through learning new strategies and through the help and input from others. High Point University embraces this mindset to help you learn to value progress, not perfection. There's a mantra here. We don't see obstacles. We see opportunities.

Values-Based Learning

Building a well-rounded student and a well-rounded professional is part of HPU's DNA . The values-based learning here at High Point University means that it's not just about what's being taught in the classroom, it's about what's happening outside of the classroom and in the world around us. Our campus community believe that to whom much is given, much is required; and feel we have an obligation model that behavior for our students.

Access to Innovators

Imagine pitching an idea to Netflix co-founder Marc Randolph or asking former U.S. Secretary of State, Gen. Colin Powell a question. Amazing, right? High Point University regularly hosts internationally acclaimed thought leaders who interact with you and help discover your own path to personal growth and leadership. One of the advantages of coming to a High Point is students have access to amazing faculty and successful people throughout the world.

Students in all academic disciplines are given the opportunity to partner with professors and engage in research, scholarship and creative endeavors as early as their freshman year in order to build a compelling resume to help them stand out to future employers and graduate schools.
