Campbell University, private, coeducational institution of higher learning in Buies Creek, North Carolina, U.S., affiliated with the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina. The university comprises the College of Arts and Sciences, the Lundy Fetterman School of Business, the School of Education, the School of Pharmacy, the Divinity School, and the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law. In addition to undergraduate studies, Campbell offers master’s degree programs in education, science, and arts, as well as professional degrees in law, divinity, business, and pharmacy. There are off-campus centres near Fayetteville (Fort Bragg and Pope Air Force Base), in New River–Jacksonville (Camp Lejeune), and in Morrisville (the Raleigh Center). Total enrollment is approximately 8,000.

The university was founded in 1887 by Baptist preacher James Archibald Campbell and was originally known as Buies Creek Academy. In 1926 it became Campbell Junior College. Campbell became a four-year college in 1961, and it was elevated to university status in 1979. The law school was founded in 1976. Through a cooperative program, Campbell awards bachelor’s degrees to science students at the Tunku Abdul Rahman College in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
