The new Warren Wilson College Advantage Program features partnerships with top colleges and universities that will increase access to a variety of graduate programs.

What do graduates want to do after earning a bachelor’s degree? Nearly 65 percent of incoming Warren Wilson College students say they want to attend graduate school. In response, Warren Wilson College is forming partnerships with top colleges and universities to increase access to a variety of graduate programs.
“If a student wants to go to graduate school and they have proven they’re ready academically, they should be able to take that next step,” said Lynn Morton, president of Warren Wilson College. “We now have the ability to offer easier access as a student incentive.”
Accelerated enrollment, guaranteed or preferential admission, tuition discounts and guaranteed or preferential scholarship consideration are among the benefits being offered through the Warren Wilson College Advantage Program. While some benefits overlap, degree partner colleges or universities sign distinctive agreements with Warren Wilson College. As a result, program benefits vary from partner school to partner school.
“Every graduate school partner has been selected by Warren Wilson faculty and advisors to ensure programmatic fit, appealing and substantive benefits and options that accommodate a variety of educational interests and scheduling needs,” said Paula Garrett, vice president for academic affairs and dean of Warren Wilson College.
