CHOOSE YOUR CAMPUS

Providence

Small State, Big Breaks // Providence, R.I., is one of the most vibrant college towns in the world. That’s because it’s more than a town — it’s a city, offering all the benefits of a large urban area.

North Miami

Everything Under the Sun // Miami, the city that needs no introduction. Though the name most likely conjures images of sand and surf, Miami is also the international gateway to the Americas.

Denver

Get Miles Ahead in the Mile High City // Denver is part big city, part outdoor mecca, and JWU’s historic 26-acre campus is perfectly situated to explore both.

Charlotte

Rule the Queen City // Charlotte, no sleepy southern town, is one of the fastest-growing business centers in the country.

Online

Professionally Focused // JWU’s College of Online Education offers the same high-quality programs that have defined our more than 100-year history.
