Focus

• Courses in our majors push students to a higher
  level in their quest
• for knowledge. Although Western Carolina
  University is accredited
• by the Southern Association of Colleges and
  Schools (SACS),
• the university holds accreditation/membership in
  more than 50
• other state and national associations. In fact,
  after visiting our
• campus and critiquing all aspects of WCU, one
  member
• of the SACS accreditation team remarked that
• our motto, indeed, should be
• "Excellence with a personal touch!"
