CHASE ADVENTURE. FIND PURPOSE.

Fearless. Curious. Adventurous. These are words we use often to describe what it means to live Western, and our community exemplifies these traits every day. At WCU, we aren't satisfied by what's been done. We always seek new routes. We always ask why. We're pioneers inside the classroom and up in the mountains, excited to see what awaits us just beyond the next curve.

Undergraduate Admissions

Your defining choice is one that you make every day. It's the choice to work harder than the person next to you, to fight for an ambition that seems impossible, to chase after a goal with persistent determination. Choosing a university is more than just a beautiful location or a degree program, it's about finding a supportive community that recognizes your potential and a program that will help you achieve your future.
