I transferred to Averett University after graduation from a community college. If I had to do it all over again, I would have gone elsewhere! Now the school is in the news for their financial problems. Not surprising considering how much money is put into the football program.

Averett University just eliminated five majors and that is just the start. The school has financial problems and may not be around in another four years! Something to consider when applying here. Maintenance of the dorms has been put off for years. Find another place to attend!

Excellent place to get your BA/BS in education, computer science, math or aeronautics. Classes are the right size and school is flexible enough to help you out if you have a legitimate problem (like being sick during mid-terms). AU is fully accredited and has about a 60% acceptance rate... it's not the Ivy League but there are a surprising number of resources once you get on campus. There is about a 50/50 mix of adults and high school kids. There are also exceptional programs for IT and CS people. Gladly recommend Averett. They are well known for their Master of Ed and Autism Research departments.
