3. Wake Forest University is a collegiate university with an extra-
ordinary history and identity. We have been able to integrate the
intimacy of an undergraduate liberal arts college with the academic
vitality of a research university. We combine the best of both worlds.
At the heart of Wake Forest is the teacher-scholar ideal and the belief
that outstanding undergraduate, graduate and professional programs
depend on these complementary activities. Professors are commit-
ted to personalized teaching and to the student’s individual devel-
opment—both mind and spirit. Wake Forest faculty members are
also scholars with strong commitments to research and professional
endeavors. e University’s abundant resources and the spirit of
Pro Humanitate empower members of the Wake Forest community to
aspire to great things and make meaningful contributions to society.
We are a close-knit, face-to-face community and our paths
intertwine frequently…on a social level, across disciplines and
through interdisciplinary research, and in the interaction between
faculty, sta , and students.
We are a place where accomplished individuals, who believe in
the power of the mind and the conscience, are challenged to live
examined and purposeful lives.
