Campbell University is located in the rural community of Buies Creek, North Carolina, approximately 30 miles south of Raleigh. Founded in 1887 as Buies Creek Academy, the private Baptist institution has evolved into a comprehensive university featuring a 850-acre main campus characterized by Georgian-style architecture and pine-forested grounds. The university maintains a traditional undergraduate program alongside graduate and professional schools, including its well-established pharmacy, law, and osteopathic medicine programs. Campbell operates under a residential campus model where most undergraduate students live in campus housing, and the university competes in NCAA Division I athletics as the Fighting Camels in the Big South Conference.
