Rather, they become advocates for the success of our students — real people with real words of advice and encouragement. The simple lesson learned: I can do it.

HPU’s 4 Pillars of Transformational Education
DEVELOP Life Skills
4 PILLARS OF TRANSFORMATIONAL EDUCATION
Our investment in each student’s success goes much deeper than their discipline — we are committed to equipping students with the Life Skills necessary to be successful in their career and in life’s daily experiences. We use common exchanges and interactions — an interview over a meal at a fine dining restaurant, for example — to teach the art of persuasion, effective communication and other skills that help HPU students stand out.
Foster your valueS & BUILD CHARACTER High Point University is among the John Templeton Foundation’s Top 100 Colleges That Encourage Character Development. It is in our DNA to graduate learned young people who are grounded in sound moral decision-making and are framed with good character.
Engage in PRACTICAL Experiential Learning
EXPAND KNOWLEDGE THROUGH Academic Excellence
Experiential learning accounts for 25% of the academic hours in each major at HPU. Students are educated in and out of the classroom through labs, studios, career shadowing, internships, research, study abroad opportunities and professional settings to gain real-world experience within their discipline.
Become an expert in your major, taught by stellar faculty aided by top-notch resources. This is expected at top accredited universities around the world, and this is also where the academic model for many universities ends. At HPU, this is just the beginning.

FAMILY ENGAGEMENT Our top institutional priority is your student as we promote academic success and personal growth beginning with the welcoming of the incoming class at Opening Convocation and culminating with the celebration of degree completion at Commencement exercises. Through the Family Engagement Program in the Office of Institutional Advancement, we collaborate with families who wish to be actively engaged in providing an enriched experience for students at High Point University through the investment of their time and resources.
As your family continues your journey at High Point University, we encourage you to be an advocate for the University in your community by helping the Office of Undergraduate Admissions identify future HPU students, by volunteering your time for recruiting efforts and by making an annual gift to the HPU Fund for Extraordinary Education.

Nowhere else will you take a first-year seminar for all freshmen, much less one led by a college president who’s launched businesses and acted as a consultant. All freshmen benefit from the fun and useful First-Year Seminar on Life Skills, led by HPU President Nido Qubein and featuring special, accomplished guests.
