REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingGreat teachers. Many have the highest degree possible in their field.
Ronald from Cartersville, GA
Catawba is a great school for those who came from a small high school such as me, and for those who don't want to be couped up in a lecture hall with 200 other students taking BIO 101. Here at Catawba the teachers know your name and want to see you succeed and they try in every way possible to do that.
Jay from Lexington, NC
The school has a lot of majors so as to fit every palate.
Veronica from Picayune, MS
Catawba College is a great school where everyone is able to find their own niche. The teachers are so willing to take the time out of their day and help with anything and everything you could ever need. There is always something different to do on campus every week, ranging from massage chairs to exotic animals.
