3.39 Average Rating

William Peace University in Raleigh, North Carolina, is a 4-year co-ed university. Founded in 1857 as a school for women, WPU has gone through many changes, always adapting to the needs of students and the careers of tomorrow.

WPU offers more than 30 undergraduate degrees, including new programs such as esports and gaming administration, plus a hybrid program for working adults. Within one year of Commencement, 96% of WPU graduates are employed or enrolled in graduate school. Those outcomes are a result of small class sizes, professors who love to teach (no teaching assistants!), and a strong internship program with community partners. Nearly 100% of undergraduate students complete an internship while enrolled.

Undergraduate students are also given the opportunity to do research, with William Peace sending students to the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) every year and to other events such as DECA.

Additional Costs

Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows: (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus. + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family) divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.	$12,040
