opened in 1848 as a four-year college for women, Chowan Baptist Female
Institute. Renamed Chowan College in 1910, and admitting men in 1931, it
became a junior college in 1937. Now Chowan College is returning to four-year
status in order to offer a complete college education in the sanctuary of a small
campus with a Christianheritage and outlook.

Administration and facultybelieve in intellectual freedom, indeed,insist upon it.
But they are proud ofthe school's Baptist heritage and commitment to Christian
principles. Chowan College does not discriminate on the basis ofsex,race, color,
age, creed, national origin, or handicap in its policies concerning employment,
admission, housing, scholarships and grants-in-aid, and public functions.
