Why is Ferrum College right for you?
The right size.
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.
The right setting.
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.
