Chowan CollegeChowan College is a small private university of about 800 students located in Murfreesboro, North Carolina. It is affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention, although it accepts students of all backgrounds. It is the second-oldest Baptist school in North Carolina. It opened in 1848 as Chowan Baptist Female Institute, a four-year college for women. The McDowell Columns building, which houses the administrative offices of the college, was constructed in 1851. It is now a registered national historical landmark. The Chowan Baptist Female Institute was renamed Chowan College in 1910, and began admitting male students in 1931. As one of the effects of the Great Depression, the college became a two-year institution in 1937. In 1992 the college returned to four-year status when it admitted a junior class. It remains a four-year college today, offering both Associate's and Bachelor's degrees. External links
