Located in this booming gateway city to the south, JWU’s Charlotte Campus provides a full university experience where you can learn, play and develop leadership skills in a modern, compact campus setting. We offer 15 distinct majors, networking opportunities with fast-growing industries and a wide variety of recreational and professional clubs, organizations, activities and athletics —as well as easy access to the city’s hotspots, here in the hub of the New South.

With more than 2,500 students from 46 states and 15 foreign countries, our newest and most modern campus in this laid-back-and-all-business city breathes life into the heart of downtown Charlotte.

Life on the Charlotte Campus offers many opportunities to enhance your educational experience. It’s about friends and about making memories as much as making yourself at home. Whether it's attending a program through Residential Life, attending a student club function or playing intramural sport, there's always something to do on campus:
