At Warren Wilson College, we have a saying: Don’t just learn it. Do it.

Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville, NC, our campus is a haven for those who insist on knowing why and how — a community where students explore real world solutions to the issues they care about, tackling challenges head — and hands — on.

Warren Wilson College’s deeply experiential model purposefully amplifies academics with hands-on work and community engagement experiences woven throughout the learning journey.

We promise that every student, in every major:
— Solves real-world problems with community partners through community-engaged courses and commitments
— Completes an internship along with a professional skills course within the major
— Gains real-world work experience on our campus work crews
— Finishes a Senior Capstone experience with undergraduate research or a culminating creative project
— Incorporates experiential, project-based learning throughout

Experience forges confidence. Our students can and do change the world. When they graduate, they don’t say they learned how to do it — they’ve already done it.

“At Warren Wilson, you take what you learn and you do it. You develop the strength of self to say, ‘I can do this confidently, and I can lead when I do this.’”
— Michael Carter, Social Work, Residence Life & Health Center Crews. Now Climate and Workforce Program Manager for King County in Seattle, WA.
