Rooted in a liberal arts curriculum focused on career building and personal discovery, Peace gives its students a foundation for ethical lives of leadership and service. As a student, you enter a community of graduates, past and present, including more than 8,000 alumni. More than 90% of our graduates find careers or admission into graduate school within a year of graduation and more than 60% of students reported that their internship experience at WPU resulted in a job offer. US News & World Reports ranked us #1 in internship programs nationally. Always a leader in jobs or graduate school for graduates, Peace now offers a four-year professional development program as well as an expanded internship program. Our core curriculum is comprised of program-specific courses and elective courses offering a diverse learning experience and includes courses that are critical for your future, including personal financial management, public speaking, and four semesters of writing taught by English faculty. This Catalog represents a roadmap for you and your advisors and campus mentors as you build toward your life after William Peace University. Not all lessons are taught within a classroom. We encourage students to enrich their university experience through clubs, the arts, student government, athletics, and/or community service. Peace offers more than 30 student clubs and organizations, including publications, academic societies and active fine arts programs. Our athletics program participates in NCAA Division III in the USA South Athletic Conference in six women’s sports and six men’s sports. We are beginning five new academic offerings for Fall, 2014. You will also notice some of our building renovations on campus. Starting with the Hermann Center and to allow for more wellness and athletic space we added a field house for spring training and intramural sports and a fitness center and weight room as well as new locker rooms. The Dining Hall was renovated this past year and has continuous dining to fit students’ schedules from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Plans for a new Student Services building in the center of campus include a coffee bar, student game and lounge space, and student government offices. Our outcomes are closely linked to our programming and the building blocks of a fulfilling education are detailed in this catalog. At William Peace University, your success is our mission, and we look forward to helping you grow and succeed as you embark on your educational journey. Debra M.

  • Grover's Grill
    Grover's Grill The 43rd Carolinas PGA Hall of Fame Inductee!! Grover Bullin, PGA, was the Golf Professional here at Wilson Country Club from 1947 to 1989. Not only did he help shape what we all love about this great Club, but he is also a cornerstone of developing the game of golf in Eastern North Carolina. Grover was known for his selfless approach to the game and his work to cultivate programs for junior and women golfers. Following his retirement from Wilson Country Club, Bullin continued to grow the game by teaching lessons for the Wilson County Parks and Recreation Department, and developed fundraisers for underprivileged youth in the area. Grover Bullin was voted Carolinas PGA Golf Professional of the Year in 1962. He served on the CPGA Board of Directors from 1964-1966. Wilson Country Club gives a Golf Scholarship at Barton College annually in his name. The Grover Bullin Endowed Scholarship was established in 1989, at the time of his retirement, and is used in place of institutional aid to a member of the golf team. Our Grillroom was renamed Grover’s Grill in 2013 to honor Bullin’s incredible commitment to Wilson Country Club. Thank you for dining with us. Bon appétit!
