Meet the Center for Student Diversity & Inclusion
Located in the Town of Davidson, North Carolina approximately 20 minutes north of Charlotte, ºÚÁÏÉçÇø offers students the best of all worlds—a vibrant campus community close to a major metropolitan area with opportunities for outdoor adventures.
Studying across the country does not mean you'll have to be disconnected from your loved ones.
Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), the sixth busiest airport in the country, is just 25 minutes away from campus, and offers ample direct flights to the west coast everyday. Student Government Association (SGA) schedules regular shuttles to and from the airport during major breaks, so getting home is never difficult to see your loved ones.
With 74+ majors, minors and programs, Davidson offers a broad curriculum accompanied by a distinctively supportive learning environment where faculty and staff become life-long mentors. Students take their learning beyond the classroom through undergraduate research, internships, job shadows, education abroad, community-based learning, and civic engagement.
No matter your major, upon graduation, you will enter a world of possibilities equipped with a deep appreciation for learning, the ability to solve problems creatively, the confidence to meet challenges head-on and the desire to contribute to your community - both local and global. Our students and alumni are connected with tools, resources and networks from Davidson to San Francisco, abroad and beyond.
Wherever you are in the western United States, you may have questions about attending college on the east coast. Our West Coast Admission Ambassadors are all current students at ºÚÁÏÉçÇø ready to help you get to know Davidson. Reach out with questions or to just chat about life at Davidson.
