Ferrum College

At Ferrum College, we provide unique opportunities and an excellent educational experience that will transform our students’ lives within a welcoming, supportive community. We want our students, from all walks of life, to be empowered to discover their potential, achieve their goals, and make a difference in their communities. The Ferrum experience is rich with opportunities for internships, hands-on learning, international and domestic travel, scholars programs, personal development, and service to the community. Ferrum boasts a wide range of extra-curricular activities and amenities comprising an array of student clubs and organizations, as well as nineteen NCAA Division III athletic sports for men and women, including men’s and women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s swimming, men’s wrestling and field hockey for women. Our “Ferrum Outdoors” program allows you to experience adventures in nearby mountains and state parks and on lakes and rivers. Our dining hall features delicious meals prepared with local “Fields to Ferrum” ingredients. We have popular national franchises such as Papa John’s and Subway, and we proudly serve Starbucks in our News Café at the Bookstore. The 30,000 square foot Hank Norton Center is home to most of our outdoor athletic programs. Our on-campus YMCA welcomes both the College and the community, with YMCA membership available to all students.
