Robert Penn Warren set part of his 1946 novel All the King's Men at Transylvania University.
Robert Lowell referred to the university in his sonnet "The Graduate (Elizabeth)." The poem states gleefully, "Transylvania's Greek Revival Chapel is one of the best Greek Revival things in the South."
A 2004 robbery at Transylvania University's special collections library is the subject of the 2018 true-crime drama film American Animals. It was also the focus of Episode 3 of the Audible podcast "Heist with Michael Caine," as well as a memoir by one of the culprits involved in the heist, Mr. Pink: The Inside Story of the Transylvania Book Heist.
Transylvania is home to the Judy Gaines Young Book Award, given annually to honor an excellent work of fiction or poetry written in the Appalachian region in the prior two to three years.
