Our academic programs let you explore solutions to real-world problems. We are the only college that promises hands-on, community-engaged courses, research, and internship for every student in every major.
When you graduate, you won’t say you learned how to do it. You will say you’ve done it.
If you’ve ever had to make yourself small to fit in, we get it. At Warren Wilson, you have the freedom to live into the person you were meant to be — and find your people. It’s time to thrive.
Lower tuition. Higher access. Our Progressive Promise ensures access and inclusion for all. Beginning in 2025-26, we’re lowering our tuition price by nearly 40% to live into that promise. And we’re still offering financial aid and our Work Awards, Merit Scholarships, and Free Tuition Programs to bring your costs down even more.
