Christopher Newport University is a dynamic, thriving institution where one will find dedicated professors and small classes that are the hallmark of a private liberal arts education, and magnificent facilities that few institutions can rival. Undergraduate and graduate programs at CNU include more than 80 academic majors and programs, ranging from accounting to theater arts, management to social work. CNU’s 260-acre campus is located in Newport News, Virginia, two and a half hours south of Washington, D.C., less than an hour from Williamsburg and Virginia Beach, and just a few blocks from where the tidal James River flows into the Chesapeake Bay. The mission of Christopher Newport University is to provide educational and cultural opportunities that benefit CNU students, the residents of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the nation. CNU provides outstanding academic programs, encourages service and leadership within the community, and provides opportunities for student involvement in nationally and regionally recognized research and arts programs.

At CNU, personal attention in small classes creates a student-centered environment where creativity and excellence can flourish.

Accommodation details

Residence Life is dedicated to serving residential students and developing a safe and inclusive living-learning community that supports the academic mission of the University. CNU Residence Life seeks to enhance the co-curricular experience and to facilitate the holistic growth of students to prepare them to pursue lives with meaning and purpose and to become responsible and contributing members of society. Students living in the residence halls are expected to conduct themselves honorably and respect each other and their residential community. Living in the residence halls at CNU is a privilege. Residents are responsible for their decisions and will be held accountable for their actions. Those who are unable to conduct themselves appropriately and who negatively impact the residential community may be removed from campus housing. Students who are present during a violation of university policy may share responsibility for the violation and face disciplinary action. As adults living in a community setting, residents face the difficult choice of attempting to confront and correct the situation themselves, removing themselves from the situation, involving staff, or doing nothing. When confronted by a peer for behavior that is considered a violation of university policy, the confronted resident is expected to respond and take appropriate measures to correct his or her behavior. Failure to do so demonstrates disrespect for the community and university policies.
