The faculty in the Liberal Arts Division, with master's and doctoral degrees from prominent universities, have expertise in many academic fields. They utilize this expertise with the fundamental purpose of helping students reach and achieve their university transfer goals. The Liberal Arts Division, like Wake Tech overall, takes pride in its faculty's innovative and passionate promotion of student success.

We are committed to scheduling our courses in various modes of delivery to meet students' degree, diploma, career and other needs. Our courses are taught in online format, traditional seated/on-campus format, hybrid format and blended format. With hybrid courses, the majority of the course is taught in an online/distance format, while the remainder is taught on campus in a classroom environment. Our faculty are very proficient in online teaching, with over 90% of our division faculty having already earned EPIC certification, which is Wake Tech's online course certification program for college faculty.

• Associate in Fine Artsdegree students: You will meet with an advisor during your first semester. You will then be assigned a Faculty Advisor, an instructor in your program of study, who will advise you for the remainder of your program.
