About
High Point University is The Premier Life Skills University. Having radically transformed the campus since 2005 under the leadership of President Nido R. Qubein, HPU knows transformation well. That’s why leaders commit to preparing students for the world as it’s going to be, not as it is. HPU is a values-based intuition that arms students with the life skills employers want. This is best showcased by the 97% placement rate for graduates employed or continuing their education within 6 months of graduation. At HPU, every student receives an extraordinary education in an inspiring environment with caring people. By focusing holistically on transformational education, HPU attracts students from all 50 states and nearly 50 countries. A $2 billion investment in academic programs and student life facilities proves HPU’s commitment to transformation. The university’s call to action is simple and profound: Choose to be extraordinary!

High Point University Reviews
On a specific note, the manner in which HPU leadership showed sincere care and compassion for each student as well as their faculty/staff and surrounding community testifies to the decency and moral compass that is the foundation of this school. Their outreach and support especially during the COVID-19 pandemic was unscripted, unselfish, and unrestricted. They engaged the student remotely--through videos of students favorite walks on campus, cooking classes online by their top campus chefs, updates on PPE supplies locally, regular heart-felt video messages from President Qubein--and created every way for the student to stay connected to their "Home Away from Home."
