Charles A. Cannon College of Arts & Sciences

The Charles A. Cannon College of Arts & Sciences offers undergraduate programs in everything from mathematics and chemistry to social and political sciences and communication. Religious studies, music and more are all part of the Cannon College, creating the broad liberal arts base that helps make Wingate students well-rounded and global thinkers. The college is named for the late textile industrialist whose commitment to Wingate Junior College began in the 1950s. By 1983 when a bronze statue of Charles Cannon was erected on campus, he had given more than $5 million. His foundation continues to support the University today.
