College Closed for 4th of July

Wake Tech is closed on Friday in observance of Independence Day. Prospective students can still apply online, and current students can register for Fall semester classes.

For more than 60 years, Wake Tech has changed the lives of thousands of people – helped them uncover hidden talents, start bold ventures, realize dreams and, sometimes, do the impossible. 

Each transformation is compelling, each story worth sharing – and Wake Tech students and alumni love sharing them! Take a look at some of their unique and inspiring stories.
