Averett University

Initially founded in 1859 as a Baptist women’s college, Averett University has experienced tremendous change over the last 150 years. However, our dedication to our students has remained constant, thanks to our strong sense of mission.

Averett University prepares students to serve and lead as catalysts for positive change. Averett fulfills this mission by educating students from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and nations through liberal arts-based undergraduate and graduate programs in a personal, collegial, interdisciplinary environment.
