Gardner-Webb University students, alumni, and friends will tell you Gardner-Webb University is special.  What makes this North Carolina college so special? One word -- chemistry.  Not the interaction of actual chemicals in the laboratory, but the interaction of dedicated people yielding life-long relationships.  Gardner-Webb University's chemistry includes outstanding teaching by an unrivaled faculty, innovative programs that enrich the heart and the mind, great traditions spanning the decades, and wonderful facilities -- all based on a foundation of Christian principles and values.

Although there have been many changes over the years, Gardner-Webb University remains closely related to the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina. Gardner-Webb University holds in high esteem its commitment to Christian principles and values as the best foundation for the development of human personality and social order.

If you are a prospective student looking for a place to be anonymous and blend into the background -- Gardner-Webb University is not the place for you.  But if you want to be part of a community of students, faculty and staff who know and care about each other, then Gardner-Webb University may be the place for you.  If you also want a North Carolina college experience that will challenge you to think for yourself and will develop you intellectually, spiritually, socially, and physically, then Gardner-Webb University is just the place for you.
