About William Peace University
Located in the heart of downtown Raleigh, North Carolina, William Peace University’s roots can be traced back to 1857 with an initial donation of $10,000 to establish Peace Institute, which offered education for boys and girls in primary grades and to women from high school to college.
Today, William Peace University has evolved with the thriving Raleigh community and is consistently recognized as a top regional college in US News and World Report Best Colleges.
Our diverse student community takes great pride in the opportunity to intern at some of the best companies throughout the Triangle, with an average work performance rating of 4.76 out of 5, as assessed by their supervisors. We invite you to partner with William Peace University and advance our mission to prepare students for careers in the organizations of tomorrow.
