Admissions
a TIME magazine “College of the Year"
The peace and beauty of this green valley in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains is deceptive. It is home to an energetic university community--a TIME magazine “College of the Year”--in its second century of educating students whose divergent paths circle the globe, and who make a difference in many professions and callings.
