Life in the Classroom

At WCU, a classroom can be many things: a science or medical lab, a recording studio, a theater, a technology center. You’ll learn by doing while working with renowned faculty who teach real-world solutions using the latest equipment and technology. And with an average class size of 23 and opportunities to do one-on-one research with your professors, you’ll never be just a face in the crowd.

Life outside the Classroom

“A home away from home”—that’s how students describe WCU. Maybe it’s because we’re big but not too big. Or maybe it’s because we make it so easy to meet new friends through clubs, events, learning communities, and residential living. Or maybe it’s our great support services, like our First-Year Mentoring Program. And with all our arts performances and athletic events, you’ll always have something to do outside of the classroom. You’ll find yourself in good company when you join the WCU community.
