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."
