Faculty
At Christopher Newport University, you’ll learn in small classes with exceptional professors who will get to know you as an individual. Nearly 90 percent of our faculty hold a Ph.D. or the highest degree in their fields, and all have impressive professional experience. Among our faculty you’ll find:
  • Fulbright scholars
  • Playwrights, actors, poets, and authors
  • NASA Public Service Award winners
  • Experts on myriad subjects
  • Winners of Virginia’s Outstanding Faculty Awards

Their true passion, though, is building future leaders in a challenging academic environment where students are valued for their unique talents. At CNU, your professors are not just your teachers—they’re also your mentors and your friends.
