Hundreds of people who may not have received a college education have been able, with the Center's help, to begin their classes locally and move on to attend the Cullowhee campus. Many of these are in leadership positions on and off the Boundary. These jobs will offer new opportunities for our people to stay in the area, earn good incomes, and raise their families. But good jobs and advancement require more education. Western Carolina University's Cherokee Center can help you meet this requirement and prepare you to take advantage of these new opportunities coming our way.
Full credit is offered for required or elective courses in a variety of disciplines.
Members of WCU's world class faculty lead classes in their areas of expertise. A wide range of advisement services is available free of charge either at the Center or on the main campus in Cullowhee. Check our current schedule and sample one of our courses before you decide if WCU is right for you. Look to the Cherokee Center for personal, no-nonsense advice about the admissions and financial aid application process. The Center's staff is able to provide valuable information on educational opportunities, degree requirements, and transfer procedures as well as guidance in setting your future career goals.
