Distinctly Davidson

  • Davidson’s historic and student-administered Honor Code offers both the freedom and responsibility of self-scheduled and unproctored exams.

  • With the Dean Rusk International Studies Program, twelve Davidson-directed study abroad programs, and off-campus study programs in seventeen locations worldwide, more than 70 percent of students graduate with experience abroad.

  • Although Davidson’s liberal arts curriculum is classic, myriad opportunities for breadth and depth within the curriculum offer students a wide range of academic options.

  • Davidson fields 21 NCAA Division I varsity teams, with athletes’ graduation rate at over 90 percent, just a few points higher than the rest of the student body. Davidson’s scholar athletes are well known for having the heaviest luggage of any team on the road—bags full of books and notes.

  • Davidson has a campus-wide commitment to community service, with dozens of organizations and initiatives that extend into both the local and the world community.

  • In keeping with its Presbyterian heritage, Davidson embraces diversity in all forms, and students are encouraged to express and explore their beliefs and values through any of a number of student faith organizations.
