Elon University, Queens University Plan Merger

Two universities, Elon University and Queens University of Charlotte, are planning to join together, like two businesses becoming one.

This will happen by the summer of 2026.

The main reason for this is because the area around Charlotte, North Carolina, is expecting many more people.

This means more students will want to go to college.

The merger will help both universities share resources, faculty and staff expertise, research capacity, and student services to better serve these students.

Leaders from both universities will be asking students, teachers, and community members for their opinions to make sure the merger works well for everyone.
