Queens University of Charlotte occupies a tree-lined campus in the historic Myers Park neighborhood of Charlotte, North Carolina, situated three miles from the city's central business district. Founded in 1857 as a women's college by the Presbyterian Church, the institution evolved into a comprehensive co-educational university in 1987 while maintaining its private, liberal arts foundation. The campus features Georgian-style architecture across its 25-acre main campus, with traditional residence halls housing the majority of undergraduate students. Queens is recognized for its business programs through the McColl School of Business, its arts and sciences curriculum, and its communication studies program, which includes a nationally competitive journalism track. The university competes in NCAA Division II athletics as the Queens Royals, with notable strength in swimming and diving programs that have earned multiple national championships.
