The University is located in beautiful Winston-Salem, NC, known as the “City of Arts and Innovation.” Once a thriving manufacturing town, Winston-Salem has transformed itself into a community of arts, culture, and innovation. Even with all the opportunities it has to offer, it remains as an exceptionally affordable place to live. Benefits of living in the Triad region of North Carolina include a vibrant downtown rich in history and culture. We boast local attractions such as Old Salem, many theaters, a myriad of annual festivals, and our own minor league baseball team (The Dash) at BB&T ballpark. The close proximity to the coast and the mountains provide attractive options for weekend getaways.
