High Point University is a private university in High Point, North Carolina, United States. Affiliated with the United Methodist Church, the university was founded in 1924 as High Point College (HPC) by the Methodist Protestant Church and the City of High Point, succeeding the Yadkin College, another college sponsored by the Methodist Protestant Church between 1856 and 1895. High Point College was renamed High Point University in 1991.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the 70% graduation rate and $42,900 median earnings a decade out are modest, especially weighed against a $40,721 average annual cost, which means you'd want to be strategic about financing. On the positive side, the $19,000 median debt at graduation is relatively low, and an 84% freshman retention rate suggests students generally feel settled and supported once they arrive. Worth considering if you're drawn to a smaller, residential campus experience and have a clear career path in mind — but run the actual cost numbers carefully before committing.
