REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThis school is great for students who feel that a huge university is overwhelming. With a small population, and small classrooms (20 or less) you grow a personal relationship with your professors. We are also located 5 minuets away from Pisgah National Forest, so the nature lovers are never bored.
Taylor from Hendersonville, NC
Here at Brevard you will be able to pick any major and learn everything you need to know. Its a one on one teaching process.
Amanda from Miami, FL
Brevard College has an amazing connection to the enviroment unlike any I've ever seen before. The professors really want to get to know each individual student in order to help him or her grow as much as he or she possibly could. The student body is extremely friendly , and I look forward to making lifelong friends!
