CAMPUS AT A GLANCE


The College was founded by Presbyterians in 1894 and maintains a covenant relationship with the Presbyterian Church (USA). The roots of this historic relationship continue to nurture the College's commitment to community, social responsibility, the value of work, and openness in the pursuit of truth. The College provides a strong sense of purpose, place, and participation, and supports diversity, community, and personal development. We welcome those from all religious faiths and secular perspectives who share similar commitments.

The Mission of Warren Wilson College is to provide a triad approach to education that combines liberal arts study, work, and service.  The College's triad is additionally enhanced by a strong commitment to environmental responsibility and experiential opportunities for international and cross-cultural understanding in a setting that promotes wisdom, spiritual growth, and contribution to the common good.
