Davidson College

Davidson College is a small, selective private liberal arts college with about 2,100 undergraduates and a close-knit, research-active character. Its compact scale supports direct faculty-student collaboration, with more than half of faculty publishing with undergraduate co-authors and dedicated facilities for student-faculty research. The Jay Hurt Hub for Innovation and Entrepreneurship extends that model into the Greater Charlotte region through experiential learning, inclusive coworking, mentor networks, access to capital, and project-based consulting for startups and small businesses. Research is supported by competitive federal funding, including the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health, alongside state and private sources; the Office of Sponsored Programs manages proposal and award administration.
