When you take your first step on campus, you'll get it-that "this is it" feeling. That's because there's something truly special about this place. A place where you're encouraged to pursue your passions and shine your brightest, where you can turn your potential into possible and define your future. At WCU, you'll find your element-whatever it may be-and become the best version of yourself. But why limit yourself to just one element? With 120+ undergraduate academic programs, 670+ study abroad opportunities, 300+ clubs and organizations, one of the largest NCAA Division II programs in the country, and hundreds of events on campus each year, you'll find plenty to love about WCU. One thing everyone loves about WCU is our location. West Chester, PA sits in the heart of the northeast and is the epitome of a college town. In fact, it's ranked one of the BEST college towns in the nation! The best part about "the Borough"? It's just a 10-minute walk from the center of North Campus. You'll find restaurants for every taste-from acai bowls to burgers and from French pastries s to ramen-and shops for every style. Want to explore more than The Borough? No problem! Philadelphia is a short car, bus, or train ride from campus. Want to go even further? WCU has a free shuttle to the train station that will take you to Philadelphia, New York City, Washington, D.C. and beyond! Our location also makes finding internships and jobs after graduation a breeze! Each year more than 70,000 jobs and internships are posted for WCU students through the Career Development Center. The CDC will also help you prepare to crush your job search with resumé reviews, mock interviews, and strength-finder surveys. WCU students have interned with companies like Disney, TED, URBN, Fox News, WSFS Bank, NASA, QVC, the Philadelphia Eagles, and the World Health Organization. Think those are impressive? Our grads have gone on to land full-time positions with Google, U.S. Department of State, NFL, ABC, Disney, Insomnia Cookies, and Twitter, and have a 93% placement rate within 6 months of graduation. Find your element and shine your brightest at WCU.
