At Christopher Newport University we care about minds and hearts. Our primary purpose is to form good citizens and leaders. We believe real success is a life well lived. We want our students to choose to live lives of meaning and consequence and purpose. We call that a life of significance.
At Christopher Newport, you'll learn the answers to two very important questions: What am I good at? and What do I love to do? We offer more than 90 areas of study, from electrical engineering to philosophy of law, from music performance to accounting. All programs are grounded in our rigorous liberal arts and sciences core curriculum – cited by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni as the strongest core curriculum of any public college or university in America.
Our small class sizes give you direct access to experts in their fields – teacher-scholars who provide outstanding instruction, conduct groundbreaking research (often with your help!), and publish noteworthy books and articles.
