At Christopher Newport University, we care about minds and hearts. We want our students to choose to lead lives of meaning and consequence and purpose. We call that a life of significance. We are a diverse and affordable public institution in Virginia that looks and feels like the best private colleges. We emphasize the study of leadership, and all students pursue a rigorous liberal arts and sciences curriculum. Christopher Newport is consistently ranked as one of the nation's top universities for the value it offers, for its science facilities, for its four-year graduation rate, and for the quality of its business school. What else makes Christopher Newport special? Our classes are small and rigorous, and our professors know their students by name. No classes are taught by teaching assistants. We offer an internationally respected President's Leadership Program. We celebrate our speaking tradition, our honor code and our commitment to serving others. Our athletic teams dominate in a conference that stretches from coast to coast. Students here hone their crafts in our world class performing and visual arts centers, and enjoy world class performances and exhibits. Our campus is stunningly beautiful, close to beaches and big cities, and in an area of Virginia with endless opportunities for recreation, culture, internships and careers. Because our students care so much about the world around them, they perform thousands of hours of meaningful community service. Through more than 200 clubs and organizations, our students make an impact on their campus and their community and they make friends for life. Our students learn to lead, serve, engage with their communities and set out to make the world a better place by living a life of significance.
