Western Carolina University

Whether you’re visiting in the mountains or live here year ’round, put Western Carolina University on your list of places to explore. At WCU, a campus of the UNC system, you’ll find a wide range of award-winning academic programs, distinguished faculty, and small class sizes where students interact closely with the professors and each other. With rising standards, growing enrollment and a strong emphasis on engagement with the community, we’re moving knowledge out of the classroom and into the world. Our beautiful mountain campus is one of the region’s most exciting destinations for the arts and entertainment. You’ll enjoy the annual Mountain Heritage Day in September, a great season of performances and exhibits at the Fine and Performing Arts Center, a full schedule of men’s and women’s athletic events, and outdoor activities such as rafting, kayaking, climbing, hiking in the mountains and waterways nearby. www.wcu.edu
