Western Carolina University

The westernmost campus of the University of North Carolina, and the campus with the most beautiful surroundings, by far. But it’s more than a beautiful place to visit, it’s a fantastic setting for learning and growing. WCU is home to North Carolina’s Mountain Heritage Center and sponsors one of the state’s leading festivals, Mountain Heritage Day, each September. For information call (800) 928-2369 or visit our web site at www.wcu.edu.
