If you’re ready to make them happen, we’re ready for you. Ferrum College combines quality academics and hands-on learning with the personalized support and guidance you need to achieve real-world success. Our welcoming community is full of people who will encourage you to work hard, do more and be more than you ever thought possible.
Nestled on 700 acres in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Ferrum College is large enough to offer more than 50 areas of study — including one of the country’s first environmental studies program — yet intimate enough where faculty and staff can work with you individually.
With a working farm, hiking trails, and a museum dedicated to Virginia folklore, the school provides a tranquil, idyllic setting. At the same time, it’s a vibrant, fast-paced campus with sports, clubs, outdoor activities, Greek Life, and the arts. Whatever your passion — anything from caving to chemistry to caring for others — Ferrum is the place to pursue it.
