Washburn University

Washburn University is a quality, student-centered university where students are becoming their best selves. Our mission is to enrich the lives of students by providing opportunities for them to develop and to realize their intellectual, academic, and professional potential, leading to becoming productive and responsible citizens. Washburn is committed to excellence in teaching, scholarly work, quality academic and professional programs, and high levels of faculty-student interaction. We develop and engage in relationships to enhance educational experiences and our community. Washburn profits from its capital city location, embraces diversity in its faculty and student body, and promotes a shared purpose through interdisciplinary opportunities, small classes, and individual instruction. Washburn University, including its Washburn Institute of Technology campus and School of Law, offers courses of study leading to credentials from certificates to doctoral degrees. We have a program for those anywhere on their educational journey—from high schoolers to the retired, from those pursuing a GED to those on a quest for a doctorate. Washburn also has unique opportunities, such as the Washburn Transformational Experience—in which a student can choose to pursue a scholarly or creative project, an international experience, leadership skills, and/or community engaged learning—and forensics programs utilizing the Kansas Bureau of Investigation’s facilities and expertise. Internally, Washburn is organized into six schools: the College of Arts & Sciences, the School of Applied Studies, the School of Business, the School of Nursing, the School of Law, and the Washburn Institute of Technology. With over 30 technical and 200 undergraduate programs, as well as 18 graduate degrees, Washburn University has a program for anyone seeking to further their education.
