Earning by offering students an intellectually rigorous education builds critical thinking and workforce skills to last a lifetime. Small class size, award-winning faculty, and a nationally acclaimed undergraduate research program foster innovation and recognition. The cornerstone of a liberal arts education is the ability to explore the connections between many different subjects and the options available. So learning here expands well beyond the classroom walls. Focusing on undergraduate studies, we help students dig into learning, whether they participate in faculty-mentored research projects, undertake career-related internships, study abroad, or join service projects to improve the quality of life at home and around the world. We encourage everyone to seek challenges, seize opportunities, and become a doer as well as a thinker. At UNC Asheville, we’ve created an environment for exploring the world and more than 30 different majors. About 3,900 undergraduate students and about 330 full- and part-time faculty bring the campus alive with a genuine hunger to understand and contribute to the human experience. Amid the culturally rich setting of Asheville, North Carolina, in the Blue Ridge Mountains, it’s all designed to spark a lifelong quest to know more — a fire that will grow brighter in the future. UNC Asheville is committed to living the core values of diversity and inclusion, innovation, and sustainability, and ensuring that they permeate everything the university does. Meeting these commitments requires an openness to change, creative and innovative approaches to programmatic growth, and a sustained focus on education, including diverse ideas and sufficient operating resources and support systems, incentives, and accountability measures. We must continue to foster a deep commitment to supporting diverse communities and appropriately encouraging frank and honest conversation. Our commitment leads us to envision a future where all UNC Asheville students, faculty, and staff know they belong regardless of their race and ethnicity, age, religion, disability, socioeconomic status, gender expression, gender, national origin, culture, and ideological beliefs. UNC Asheville’s commitment includes ensuring that our curriculum and programs reflect the diversity of the world and our community, that our education embraces inclusive teaching and learning styles, that ongoing efforts are made to create a multicultural environment throughout the campus that we include diverse perspectives in all conversations concerning the advancement of the university and our society and that our recruitment, hiring and administrative practices place a high value on all aspects of diverse identities. Undergraduate research (UR) is self-directed/designed academic work by an individual student or team of students that addresses a research question with the expectation of a scholarly or creative product intended for publication or presentation on or off-campus. UNC Asheville founded the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) 32 years ago and celebrated the milestone by bringing more than 4,000 undergraduate research students to campus in 2016. Undergraduate research offers hands-on experience in the field, guided by expert faculty who let students take the lead. More than 60 percent of UNC Asheville students complete original research in their field of study through the university’s nationally recognized Undergraduate Research Program—an opportunity most often found in graduate programs. Service-learning is an approach to teaching and learning in which students use academic knowledge and skills to address community needs. For example, health and wellness students may volunteer time at a nursing home teaching participants exercises or leading other wellness activities. The Key Center for Community Engaged Learning is the hub of community engagement at UNC Asheville, connecting students, faculty, staff, and community partners in meaningful and transformative relationships that strengthen communities and address societal needs. Whether it’s a one-time project, an ongoing commitment, or an academic service-learning course, our primary goal is to support and facilitate UNC Asheville community members as they connect and engage with Asheville's larger communities, Western North Carolina, the nation, and the world. UNC Asheville’s Honors Program provides a rich curriculum for motivated students who seek to understand themselves and make a difference in the world. Together, students, staff, and faculty create a community of dedicated and enthusiastic scholars who care for the well-being of all. Honors students have opportunities to travel in the United States and abroad, to interact with distinguished campus visitors, to participate in enriching co-curricular and extracurricular activities, and to forge strong relationships with outstanding professors. UNC Asheville’s Study Abroad Office provides access to high quality, academically grounded, international experiences to students. These experiences give students the skills necessary for successful engagement in a global community. Studying abroad provides a unique opportunity for students to diversify their college education and become citizens of the world. Students have many choices when it comes to locations where they can study. Our staff is here to help students decide what programs will be best for them and to assist them in their application process while they are away and upon their return. Finding the right college is all about feeling a connection. As North Carolina’s designated public liberal arts university, that’s UNC Asheville’s specialty—connecting ideas, areas of study, and people. Connecting with you is our top priority because each of our 3,800 students makes us who we are. With intentionally small classes and a curriculum you can customize, you’ll be at the center of your education so you, along with professors who’ll take the time to support and motivate you, can design the future you want. That’s what the liberal arts mean to us. View full university

Founded in 1900, Asheville School is one of the few remaining dedicated small boarding schools in America. This is a nurturing community, where our students and faculty genuinely know one another — thanks to family-style seated meals, senior chapel talks, and century-old traditions. We offer a rigorous college preparatory program. Many of our graduates are accepted to the most prestigious schools in the country. The majority of our recent graduates attend colleges and universities Barron's rates as "highly selective" and "most selective." We teach 21st century and timeless skills - critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity - in a traditional setting, where students are known and loved. Our acceptance rate is 40 percent, and we have alumni in all 50 states and about 35 countries around the world. Our 300-acre campus, with pastoral fields encircled by the Blue Ridge Mountains, is nestled in the city of Asheville, North Carolina. Architectural Digest named Asheville School, the most beautiful private high school in North Carolina in 2018. Asheville School is unlike any school. It is located in a vibrant, lively city full of art, music, and eclectic food, set among breathtaking Southern mountains and trout-filled rivers. It encompasses 300 acres of hiking paths, horse trails, fields, woodlands, and streams. It enjoys the advantage of elegant Tudor-style buildings registered as historical landmarks, along with state-of-the-art technology and athletic facilities. It is not, however, Asheville School's significant physical advantages that make this place unique. Asheville School is about people and relationships. We believe that the right school is one in which every student is known and loved, and we can do that at Asheville School because we are purposefully small, and we are predominantly boarding. In our intimate residential community, we eat meals family-style. We come together daily as a top school in either chapel or convocation. We rub elbows in dormitories and around campus. We show our care for one another by maintaining high standards for academic achievement and personal conduct. Kindness, consideration, and civility are hallmarks of an Asheville School student. We want to cultivate our students' essential tools like problem-solving, analysis, creative thinking, and clear communications. However, we also want our students to live lives of honor, duty, courage, and kindness. We want them to become leaders. Students who know they are cared for will take intellectual risks and stretch themselves personally because they are secure and safe in a place that will support them. To grow into the independent adults, we want them to become, they must spread their wings and take flight. Our students do that in this beautiful place under the watchful eye of accomplished adults who are their mentors, guides, and role models. We expect our students to live by high ethical standards. The foundation of ethical behavior is honesty. At Asheville School, students agree to uphold an Honor Code. Students "pledge" and sign all independent work. And students constitute the majority of the Honor Council, the educational and disciplinary body that hears all Code violations. As a result, our students live with a fair measure of freedom: trusted by the adults and trusting one another. Perseverance is the quality of sticking to the task at hand and is related to the adage, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." At Asheville School, students are encouraged to persevere in the classroom as well as the athletic arena. Students who persevere work to do better with each task. Integrity involves being honest, trustworthy, and forthright. At Asheville School, students pledge to uphold the honor code of not lying, cheating, or stealing. Students recognize the importance in the life of being recognized as a person of integrity. Respectful people value people, places, and practices. At Asheville School, respect for people of all races, cultures, ethnicities, and gender orientation ensures that students will feel safe in their surroundings. Buildings and grounds will be respected and enjoyed. Religious choices and practices will be honored. Compassion complements the mission statement's goal of developing spirit. At Asheville School, compassion is manifested in our service program and our Mitchell Cabinet, the service focused group that is the oldest organization at Asheville School. Food drives, blood drives, fundraisers for people in crisis are apparent aspects of compassion. The quiet support of a friend and the help a teacher offers a struggling student are but two examples of everyday acts of compassion. View full school
