Business Profile

Description: Established in 1837 in Greensboro, N.C., Guilford College provides students with the skills, experiences, and perspectives they need to create change in the world. The Guilford Edge is a totally reimagined educational experience that provides uncommon engagement in real-world learning for every student, every semester. Guilford’s curriculum is distinguished by team-based, interdisciplinary problem-solving projects that take place in the community, across the country, and around the globe. Further, Guilford's integrated advising system, known as Guided Discovery, ensures that every student benefits from a personal team of advisers who support them in making life-shaping connections between their evolving academic interests and exciting possibilities, leading to meaningful career success. Guilford's Division III athletics — known as the Quakers — are part of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference. Women's varsity teams include rugby, cross country, basketball, softball, lacrosse, soccer, tennis, swimming, triathlon, and volleyball. Men's varsity teams include basketball, baseball, football, cross country, lacrosse, golf, tennis, and soccer. With an average class size of 14, Guilford students find their Edge in a vibrant, student-centered environment where they explore a variety of majors and minors. "Colleges That Change Lives," Loren Pope's classic book of distinguished colleges, calls Guilford a "stimulating place where teachers care, where they expect a lot, and where they provide encouragement as well as the challenge to get young people to do things they had no idea they could do."
