Something happens when you find yourself here. You find your passion. You find it in labs, lectures, out in left field. You find it on stage, behind camera, in front of a blank page. You find more than a direction. You find your element.
Find Your Element. Feed your mind.Academics
With over 180 diverse academic opportunities, West Chester University has made it possible for every student to find their element. With degrees ranging from accounting to African American studies to marine biology, we’re confident that our students can find what they love and make it their own.

Location
We're proud of our beautiful campus and the unique charm that defines West Chester. But with three of the country's most dynamic cities - DC, Philadelphia and New York City - just a short ride away, escapes are kind of necessary.
All of us share a deep passion for West Chester University and this passion continues to grow exponentially with each graduating class. I fell in love with WCU when I first came to this campus many years ago and I want every student to fall in love with WCU, too. I want students to feel that when they step onto this campus they belong here, they're happy that they came here, and this is where they want to be.
