About Us

For a small college, we inspire big dreams.

At Catawba College, we believe good goes far - and it starts right here in the heart of Salisbury, North Carolina. Rooted in a legacy that dates back to 1851, our campus is a place where tradition fuels bold ideas and where every student is empowered to explore, discover, create, and thrive.

This is more than a college. It's a launchpad for purpose. A supportive, inclusive community where creativity flourishes, passions take shape, and potential is transformed into action. With personalized learning, hands-on experiences, and a deep commitment to student success, we help students become not only career-ready but world-ready.

More than 16,000 alumni have started their journeys here and gone on to make a difference in their fields, their communities, and beyond. At Catawba, you won't just find your path. You'll forge it.
