Welcome to Wake Forest.

Wake Forest is the nation’s premier “collegiate university,” balancing the personal attention of a small liberal arts college with the breadth and depth of a large research university.

Wake Forest’s relatively small size – less than 5,000 undergraduates – enables the University to create rich interdisciplinary programs within and across all programs of study.

The campus is small enough for students and faculty to know one another, to forge strong links among schools and departments and to create academic benefits that few other schools can match.

You will find a vibrant and engaging community of learning here.
