Chowan University, grounded in its Christian faith, has been transforming the lives of students of promise for over 175 years. A Christian liberal arts university founded in 1848, Chowan is located in the Historic Inner Banks community of Murfreesboro in northeastern North Carolina. The university is in close proximity to the Outer Banks and Hampton Roads, Virginia. Chowan's park-like campus features more than 400 acres, including Lake Vann, the beloved "Squirrel Park," and the original McDowell Columns Hall, erected in 1851 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  Show less
