Overview
Barton College in Wilson, North Carolina, is a small private liberal arts college affiliated with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), on a residential campus in the state's tobacco-belt east, less than an hour from Raleigh. It serves a student body drawn mostly from eastern North Carolina and the surrounding region.
Academics
Nursing, education, and business are Barton's most established programs, each benefiting from the close faculty attention typical of a small college, with clinical and field placements built into the nursing and education tracks specifically.
Getting in
Admission is accessible rather than highly selective, and Barton draws heavily on regional students already familiar with the college's reputation in eastern North Carolina.
Worth knowing
The Disciples of Christ affiliation is a lighter institutional identity than at some other faith-based colleges — it shapes some campus programming without imposing the strict lifestyle or chapel requirements found at more doctrinally strict Christian colleges.
