Welcome
to the College of Education and Allied Professions at Western
Carolina University!
It is with great pleasure and pride that we present overview
information about our college, our faculty and staff, and
our students. I hope that when you are finished looking through
our Website, you will want to know more about us and our programs.
As Western was founded in 1889 as a teacher preparation institution,
no one prepares teachers and other professional educators
better. Our college does that and much more. Because
of an emphasis on teaching and service in our college, we
value you as an individual - both as a learner and, later,
as a leader in your chosen field. We foster an atmosphere
of openness and acceptance, and we encourage applicants of
diverse backgrounds and cultures to seek us out for the preparation
we can provide. We are small enough to know you as a person
and not as a number. Yet, we are large enough to ensure that
you will receive a quality education that will serve you well
in your professional endeavors.
All of our programs have appropriate accreditation at the
state and national levels. We have strong partnerships with
our schools and other agencies in our region. Our college
believes in the "Western Way" - going the extra
mile literally and figuratively.
If you would like more information, please come visit us or
feel free to contact me or any of our faculty.
In closing, let me extend to you my sincerest thanks for considering
the College of Education and Allied Professions at Western
Carolina University!
