Campbell University is a private Christian university in Buies Creek, North Carolina, United States. Campbell's main campus in Buies Creek is home to its College of Arts & Sciences, College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences, Divinity School, School of Education, Lundy-Fetterman School of Business, and the School of Engineering.

The university's athletic teams are named the Fighting Camels; there are 20 NCAA Division I varsity programs.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 94% acceptance rate means admission is accessible, but a 56% graduation rate suggests a meaningful chunk of students don't finish, which is worth asking about during a visit. On the positive side, median debt of just $17,000 at graduation is genuinely low, and the $58,000 median earnings hold up reasonably well for a smaller Christian university with pharmacy, nursing, and osteopathic medicine programs that give it real professional focus. Worth considering if you're drawn to a faith-based community and have a clear career path in health sciences, but students who need strong academic support structures should probe carefully before committing.
