Averett University began as a school for young women at a time when educating women was not a popular idea. That spirit of innovation has carried through to the present day. Averett University was among the first in Virginia to create an accelerated program for working adults, and is one of only a handful of institutions in the nation to offer bachelor’s degrees in aeronautics and equestrian studies.
