Academics
Some students arrive at WCU knowing exactly what they want to pursue; others
need time and space to explore. Whatever your level of focus and whichever path you
seek, you will find it among our 180+ academic opportunities. We pride ourselves on
giving students the environment and the tools to expand their mind and find their
element.
Student Spotlight: Keana Flowers
"Have an open mind and don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone."
A lifelong dancer, Keana's run in with stress fractures in both her legs in high school set her on a path to athletic training. "When I saw the trainers working with the athletes and what the athletes did to regain their health, I knew Athletic Training was the major for me."

First Year Students
Freshman year marks more than the beginning of a college career. It’s a turning point in life. And it’s for this reason that we are so serious about our clubs, organizations and campus resources. Arriving on campus freshman year is exciting, but it’s important to have a strong community to engage with, build bonds with, grow with.
Transfer Students
