    Overview

    Welcome to William Peace University. If you are looking for a different type of college experience – one that is rooted in the liberal arts but committed to building skills for 21st-century careers – William Peace University might be for you.

    If you like the vibe of a busy, modern city but also appreciate the historic charm and green space, our downtown Raleigh campus might just feel like home.

    The University has changed a lot over the years, adapting to and with the world. Today, WPU offers more than 30 majors and 21 DCIII sports. Each year, we add new majors, such as Esports Administration and Game Design. Coming in Spring 2025: Sport Management.

    This adaptability aligns with William Peace University's mission to prepare students for careers in the organizations of tomorrow. On average, more than 96 percent of the University's graduates are placed in jobs or graduate school within one year of graduation.

    • WPU was a great choice for me after being homeschooled because of all of the opportunities to get involved. Growing up being homeschooled I was a part of lots of different groups and organizations. Because of this, I saw a lot of benefits of coming to a university where being involved is highly encouraged and pretty accessible.

    • Being a first-generation college student from a single-parent household, the fear of not being able to go to college because of finances was always scary to me. I received a presidential scholarship for academics. This was the biggest help I could have received in my financial aid package - that this is one of the biggest scholarships students can receive here at WPU. The financial aid team gave me and my mother a chance to ask questions and understand the routes we could take to pay for college. This helped both of us feel less worried about the financial aspect of coming to WPU.
