The mentor-scholars who comprise the School’s faculty will help you engage deeply and broadly with the liberal arts, through general education courses, participation in the arts, worship, global study, and different areas of specialized research. As influential leaders within their own diverse fields, our faculty members enrich the cultural and intellectual life of the university with their own widely acclaimed research, scholarship, and creative work. Because they believe that your success extends far beyond career aspirations, our faculty serve as active and engaged student advisors, collaborators, and guides for student research, performance, and engagement. At many institutions across the country, students have very little real interaction with their professors. At High Point University, our teacher-scholars are your partners in the learning process, and that makes all the difference in carrying out our promise to provide an extraordinary education, in an inspiring environment, with caring people.

Law
The pre-law program is designed to help students determine whether a career in law makes sense for them, effectively navigate through the process of applying to law school, and select a law school that best fits their future goals. Law schools accept applicants from a wide variety of majors, but they closely examine transcripts for evidence that the applicant has taken challenging classes that develop students’ abilities to problem solve, read critically, write and edit, communicate orally, and listen well. Students interested in law school should meet with a pre-law advisor early in their academic career to develop a plan tailored to the student’s interests and the intellectual rigor that will prepare students for the law school experience.
Pre-Ministerial Studies
Is God calling you to Christian ministry? The purpose of pre-ministry advising at High Point University is to assist any student considering some form of ministry as a vocation, offering activities and resources to support students’ theological exploration of ministry. In addition, HPU has several ordained ministers and lay leaders among its faculty and administration who are happy to engage in conversations with students about the many paths into ministry and about the sacrifices and rewards of a life of ministry.
