Chowan University, located in the small town of Murfreesboro in northeastern North Carolina, is a private Baptist institution established in 1848. The 300-acre campus features Georgian-style architecture and maintains its historic character while housing modern academic and residential facilities. Originally founded as a women's college called Chowan Baptist Female Institute, the university now operates as a coeducational institution offering undergraduate programs with particular emphasis in business, education, graphic communications, and sport science. The university competes in NCAA Division II athletics as the Hawks, participating in the Conference Carolinas, and provides traditional dormitory-style housing for its residential student population.
