Welcome to Calverton State

A public university where curiosity becomes contribution

About the university →

Calverton State University is an invented public university founded in 1887 in the fictional college town of Calverton. Home of the Calverton Herons, it serves undergraduate and graduate students across seven colleges, anchored by the historic Founders Quad and the Linden Hall bell tower. The university, its town, colleges, halls, programs, athletics, and people are entirely fictional and exist only to give this synthetic Drupal fixture a coherent, domain-plausible higher-ed identity.

Discovery that starts in year one
