- Mission
- One of the nation's most respected private schools, Wake Forest University is a collegiate university recognized for its outstanding academic reputation, challenging liberal arts curriculum, and personalized learning. Wake Forest further distinguishes itself through its beautiful residential campus, extensive study-abroad programs, a need-blind admissions policy, sophisticated computing and networking technology, and Atlantic Coast Conference athletic programs. The university is committed to personalized education, inquiry and exploration. At Wake Forest, undergraduate classes are taught by full-time faculty, not graduate assistants. The student/faculty ratio is 11:1 and professors embody the teacher-scholar ideal of teaching and research. The heart of Wake Forest's mission is rooted in its motto, Pro Humanitate, service to humanity. Wake Forest students, faculty and alumni understand that the mind has the power to change the world. But, more importantly, they believe in the power of the mind and conscience to change the world for the better. A mix of dedicated faculty teacher-scholars; curious and eager students; academic, cultural, athletic and social activities exemplify a school that is small in size, but large in resources. With fewer than 4,500 undergraduates, Wake Forest provides the intimacy and personal attention characteristic of America's most selective private institutions. Yet, Wake Forest is a world-class university with the academic reputation and research activity found at major universities. Its graduate school of arts and sciences, along with professional schools in law, medicine, management and divinity, enrich the intellectual environment and provide resources to undergraduates, as do interdisciplinary programs in such areas as entrepreneurship. Wake Forest was selected by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation to receive a $2.16 million grant to expand entrepreneurship programs, one of eight such Kauffman campuses nationwide. Wake Forest is home to the Center for Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials, which works closely with the Department of Defense and several industry leaders to transfer its work to practical applications in the areas of manufacturing and national defense. The Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine is an international leader in the translation of scientific discovery into clinical therapies.
