International Programs and Services (IPS) places a vital emphasis on international curriculum accessible at Western Carolina University, and is committed to supporting, promoting and celebrating individuals in an intercultural environment. IPS advocates for and facilitates international and cross-cultural experiences, perspectives and initiatives.

The annual International Education Week (mid-November) and the annual International Festival (early April) provide opportunities for Western students, staff and faculty, as well as the surrounding communities of Cullowhee, to meet and learn more about diverse peoples (most commonly international students) and cultures from countries worldwide.

Phi Beta Delta is the first national honor society dedicated to recognizing scholarly achievement in international education.
