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.
