Reinhardt's Story

As the only institution of higher education founded in Cherokee County, Reinhardt College has always focused on being "the way college should be." For generations, Reinhardt has been a popular higher educational resource for young people from Cherokee, Bartow, Cobb, Dawson, Forsyth, Fulton and Pickens counties, and as the College added baccalaureate degrees, a master's program and expanded its recruiting efforts across the state and region, its sphere of influence has continued to expand.

"Reinhardt changed my life"

When you talk with many Reinhardt alumni, you will hear: "Reinhardt changed my life." These life-changing experiences are a result of the College's whole person approach to education.  To be a successful Reinhardt graduate, knowledge of facts, theories and processes are not enough.  Instead, students are encouraged to develop socially, personally, spiritually/ morally and physically, as well. Reinhardt administrators are fond of saying, "how you live your life is even more important than what you do for a living."  As a result, intercollegiate athletics, intramurals, residential life, student clubs and organizations, religious activities, service projects, leadership opportunities, recreational clubs, internships, study abroad programs and student work responsibilities provide a rich and varied complement to classroom instruction.

The College has two locations—Waleska, a 540-acre residential campus in the foothills of northwestern Cherokee County, just 45 minutes northwest of Atlanta and 80 minutes south of Chattanooga, and the North Fulton Center, a bustling adult education program in Alpharetta, Ga. on Old Milton Parkway.

Come see the difference the Reinhardt experience makes.
