The North Carolina College Scene - An Exclusive U.S. College Search Report

With pretty coastal towns, large metropolitan areas, and mid-sized cities all located in one picturesque state, North Carolina offers a huge number of higher education opportunities for those searching for just the right college to fit not only their educational needs but also their personality. From large state universities with huge populations to a myriad of small private schools, North Carolina offers more than 50 colleges from which to choose, each with their own specialties.

Probably one of the most well-known schools in this picturesque southern state is Duke University. Located in the north-central city of Durham, Duke has long been revered for its top-notch academics and boasts nine schools and colleges, including a Divinity School, the School of Law, the Pratt School of Engineering, and the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Studies. With a motto of "Knowledge and Religion", Duke has its roots in the United Methodist Church, but today, nearly 11,000 students of a variety of ethnic and religious backgrounds attend this fine school.

For a smaller college experience, North Carolina is home to nearly three dozen private schools, many of them quite small as far as student population is concerned. Several were founded by religious organizations, such as the Presbyterian Church's Montreat College, surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains, or the United Church of Christ's pretty Elon University, in the state's Piedmont Region. Others are members of the Historic Black Colleges and Universities, like Johnson C. Smith University in the city of Charlotte.
