Be advised that I-40 is closed for at least 3-4 months in both directions at the NC/Tennessee border, as are some other main highways in our region, due to rockslides.  Please keep this in mind as you make your travel plans.

So why not come for a visit? Campus tours are available throughout the year. Or to get a fuller sense of WCU, plan to attend one of our open houses. To make the most of your visit, please be sure to register in advance for each of these programs.

And if you can’t make it to campus, you can always visit Western Carolina University On Location at a regional tour event near you, take a virtual tour of the campus, or see what’s going on right now through our live web cam.
