JWU'S SOUTHERN LOCATION
A sprawling metropolitan area with 199 neighborhoods that radiate out from Uptown where JWU’s campus is located, Charlotte is also a major financial center.
THE "QUEEN CITY" IS FULL OF SPIRIT
Charlotte was recently ranked the 15th biggest city in the U.S. in terms of population growth — much of that growth coming from college students and young professionals with whom you’ll make connections and memories
SO MUCH TO SEE AND DO
The city is filled with shopping and restaurants around every corner, and Uptown always has something new featuring great music, arts and a vibrant nightlife.
HOW JWU CLT WORKS FOR YOU
Plugged into Uptown’s industry partners, JWU has spent decades fostering positive business relationships with the Charlotte community. We even operate a Double Tree by Hilton Hotel right on campus for hospitality students to hone their craft and deliver value to real guests!
Our students have interned with the Charlotte Hornets, Charlotte Knights, Charlotte Independence, Texas Rangers, ESPN Radio Corp, Madison Square Garden, Big South Conference, Hershey Entertainment Resort and Live Nation Entertainment.
