Meet Our Faculty

Sure, there are bigger schools, but our caring, professional faculty sets William Peace University apart.

The instructors at WPU are some of the best and brightest, offering personal attention, insight and wisdom to students that few universities can match. More than 70% of professors hold a doctorate, and many others hold decades of industry experience and expertise in their respective fields of study. With a student-to-faculty ratio of 11:1, it’s virtually impossible to get lost at WPU. You’re more than just a number here.
