What Sets Us Apart?
Transformations happen here…
One advantage of transferring to a Christ-Centered institution like Montreat College is that you will be challenged, encouraged, and sharpened by your peers and professors. Students are encouraged to make their faith their own and see the inward reality of their belief become an outward expression of service towards others and God.
Academics are half of the education…
At Montreat College, it is no surprise to see a professor in the stands at a Cavalier soccer game cheering among students. The education of this place stretches beyond quality academics. Students are given the chance to learn important life skills, live among like-minded individuals, and grow spiritually. Our professors are a big part of that learning process. They are dedicated men and women who serve primarily as professors and secondarily as mentors, tutors, advice-givers, and lunch buddies.
Strong friendships are fostered…
Friends that are made at Montreat often become lifelong friends. We like to encourage that longevity by scheduling ‘coffee houses,’ dances, dorm Bible studies, socials, and service projects.
Fun is always an option…
Our student body thrives on good, creative fun.
Students often spend late nights together studying at Denny’s, playing Telephone Pictionary by a cozy fire, going on a hike on one of the 20+ trails in the Montreat cove, playing a pick-up game of ultimate Frisbee, or stirring up a little culture soup in downtown Asheville.
Whatever your taste, there is always an adventure to be had, and our students are the best at ‘making fun happen.’

Hear why others transferred to Montreat College
Allison Cornelius
The first thing I learned upon transferring here is that our God is, indeed, involved in every aspect of our life and also that decisions, whether big or small, are not out of His hands.
Honestly, I applied to Montreat out of desperation. I had attended a large state university and it did not work out as I had envisioned it. School was hard; I was just a face among thousands, advisors had no real interest in whether or not I did well, and it was extremely easy to get lost in the crowd. I knew that the large school was not where I belonged. So I left. I took a semester off and found myself frantically searching for a new school I could call home. To my surprise, Montreat became the place.
Not to sound cheesy, but Montreat was legitimately more than I could have imagined for in a place to go to school. I came in and was welcomed warmly by the community here. I didn’t go unnoticed either. My first day of class I had professors meet with me and help me rearrange my schedule, they asked questions about my life and were interested in ME. Classes were fun for the first time, and the integration of faith and learning really helped me grow in my faith and understanding of God. For the first time I was actually excited about learning because I knew that is what my teachers wanted for me.
