Western Carolina University (WCU) is one of the sixteen public universities that make up the University of North Carolina System.
Western Carolina is a comprehensive university offering a broad array of undergraduate and graduate programs, and is recognized as a national leader in the application of computer technology in education. Western Carolina offers degree programs at the bachelor, masters and doctoral levels.
The university's academic structure is composed of four undergraduate colleges:
Applied Sciences

Honors College
Graduate School.
The Honors College, a community of high-achieving students, is the only one of its kind in North Carolina, with accepted students invited to live in one of two honors residences.
Western's rigorous academic program is led by a full-time faculty of about 335, providing a student-faculty ratio of 16 to 1 for the student body of about 9,000 students. The university also operates resident-credit centers in Asheville and Cherokee. Through credit and noncredit instructional courses, continuing education offerings, and workshop, conference and service programs, the university serves nearly 12,000 people each year. In the spring of 2000, WCU was officially designated a National Meritsponsoring university, just the fourth institution of higher education in North Carolina, public or private, to receive that distinction.
Western's emphasis on involving undergraduate students in research is drawing national attention. The university has ranked in the nation's top 20 for three years in a row in the number of papers presented at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research. In 2006, the College of Education and Allied Professions was the national winner of the Association of Teacher Educators' Distinguished Program in Teacher Education Award and a national finalist for the American Association of State Colleges and Universities’ Christa McAuliffe Award for Exemplary Programs in Teacher Education. WCU's College of Education and Allied Professions, is the 2007 co-winner of the Christa McAuliffe Excellence in Teacher Education Award presented by the American Associatin of State Colleges and Universities. The Christa McAuliffe Award nationally recognizes outstanding programs in teacher education at AASCU member institutions.
