Embedded in the heart of downtown Raleigh, our university’s culture is as vibrant as the city that surrounds it, and our students benefit from all the connection and collaboration our central location has to offer. With supportive professors, dedicated faculty advisors, and a friendly and active student body, Peace students enjoy the benefits of a tight-knit community combined with the multi-faceted opportunities of a growing, flourishing city.

A stunning 98% of our graduates are employed or enrolled in graduate school within one year of graduation. That’s because: 

Immersive Learning  - Our hands-on learning is part of every course. Students don’t just take notes; they do. 
12:1 Student-Faculty ratio. Our faculty know students’ names and their stories and guide them from where they are to where they need to go. 
Internships - WPU students benefit from an internship while here, including coursework to support resume building, interviews, and other job skills. 
Our downtown location means students can step off campus and into dozens of experiences, from restaurant and nightlife to culture, live music and internships. 
A return on investment - Scholarships and aid make WPU an affordable choice. Tuition includes books, laundry, and printing.
