Methodist College is a senior, co-educational college of liberal arts and sciences that opened in 1960. The campus presents a striking blend of modern architecture and natural beauty, occupying 617 acres along the Cape Fear River, six miles north of downtown Fayetteville. The campus includes 32 buildings, an 18-hole golf course and an amphitheater. Nine on-campus residence halls house nearly 900 students.

The College offers day, evening and on-line courses year-round. Students can choose from more than 50 undergraduate majors and concentrations and three master’s degrees in Physician Assistant Studies, business administration and justice administration. The Professional MBA at Pinehurst, one of our two newest graduate programs, is the first program of its kind in the nation. Designed to help further the careers of professionals already working in the golf, tennis and resort industries, classes will be held one weekend a month, in Pinehurst® with supplemental coursework completed online between residency sessions. The Master’s in Justice Administration is modeled after the Professional MBA with class meetings held one weekend a month in Salemburg at the Justice Academy.

More than 70 student organizations and 19 intercollegiate sports give students countless opportunities to develop their talents and leadership skills. Methodist prides itself on its “nurturing, family-type atmosphere,” its Honor Code, emphasis on character development, and its strong support network for students. The College provides support through its gifted and caring faculty, campus minister, career counseling, clinical counseling and academic tutoring.
