School Description

Provided by Queens University of Charlotte

Queens University of Charlotte is a private, co-ed, masters level university with a commitment to liberal arts and professional studies. Located in the heart of historic Charlotte, Queens serves approximately 2,300 undergraduate and graduate students through its College of Arts and Sciences, the McColl School of Business, Presbyterian School of Nursing, Wayland H. Cato Jr. School of Education, School of Communication and Hayworth College for adult and evening programs. It was founded in 1857 as a liberal arts college for women.

Since our founding in 1857 we have grown from an all-women’s college into a master’s level university. The Queens of today is a thriving co-educational institution, boasting five N.C. Professors of the Year, 16 NCAA Division II men’s and women’s sports teams, and exemplary international study and internship programs that have been named among the best in the country.

Queens University of Charlotte provides educational experiences that transform students’ lives and foster personal and professional success.

The Queens University of Charlotte campus is less than three miles away from Uptown Charlotte, North Carolina. Charlotte is located in Mecklenburg County and is one of the fastest growing business and arts communities in the nation, a thriving metropolitan center known for outdoor recreation, quality of life and a vibrant business community. The city lies just two hours from the Blue Ridge mountains and four hours from the beaches, three and a half hours from Atlanta, nine hours from Tampa, 24 hours from Fargo... well, you get the idea.

As a Queens student, you can take advantage of as little or as much of the Charlotte scene as you wish. That's the beauty of it. It's not just recreation, either. Our core program, internship program, and student development programs take students out of the classroom and introduce them to real-world opportunities in the Charlotte community. It's the ultimate lab course.

What does the real world mean to you? Come to Queens University of Charlotte and learn for yourself.

Queens University of Charlotte

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Queens University of Charlotte is a private, Presbyterian-affiliated comprehensive university located in the Myers Park neighborhood of Charlotte, North Carolina. It was founded in 1857 as a female educational institution, and has evolved hence into a co-ed university.

The Institution

Queens University of Charlotte was founded in 1857 as the Charlotte Female Institute, by the Reverend and Mrs. Burwell, located at College and 9th Streets near the center of the city. From 1891–1896, it was called the Seminary for Girls. In 1896, the Concord and Mecklenburg Presbyteries chartered the Presbyterian Female College. The Seminary for Girls merged with this new college. In 1912, anticipating the move to the present campus in the Myers Park residential area, it became Queens College.

The name Queens College was adopted for three reasons: in response to the request of the Alumnae Association to disarm prejudice, in deference to other Presbyterian colleges which claimed an equal right to the denominational name, and in commemoration of Queen's Museum, a classical school established in Charlotte in 1771 and named in honor of the British Queen, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, the Queen consort of George III.

Although Queens College was endorsed by the General Assembly of the Colony of North Carolina, King George III revoked the charter in 1772, doubting the wisdom of creating a Scots-Irish Presbyterian institution that could perpetuate anti-royalist views in the colony.

The Trustees continued to apply for a charter and operated the school under the unusual name of Queen’s Museum. During the Revolution, the Trustees sympathized with the colonial cause and many future leaders, including General William Lee Davidson, General Joseph Graham, General William R. Davie, and Andrew Jackson were educated there. When independence was declared, the school became known as Liberty Hall Academy. It closed in 1784, shortly after moving to Salisbury, North Carolina.

It's in downtown Charlotte. I know someone who went there and said they had a great time. Made lots of friends, safe atmosphere, nice weather most of the time. The only downside is that it is in Charlotte, where there is not much to do (surprising, considering it is downtown).
