Profile

Mission Statement

Washburn University strives to continue to be an outstanding public metropolitan educational resource for the people of Kansas and the region, emphasizing excellence in teaching. This emphasis on quality instruction in the learning/teaching process has been maintained since Washburn's founding in 1865 and its evolution from a small church college to a comprehensive public metropolitan university. The University takes pride in its faculty and staff and the talent and diversity they bring to the educational process. The University's educational objectives are to prepare individuals for careers and further study in a variety of disciplines and for a lifetime of continuous learning. The open admissions policy on the undergraduate level allows Washburn to offer higher education to a diverse population, but also requires the University to make a special effort to help individuals reach their full academic potential. An extensive advising system compliments the educational program. Washburn provides educational opportunities principally for the residents of Topeka, Shawnee County and Northeast Kansas. It also attracts students from the entire state, nation and the world. Degrees are awarded at the associate, bachelor, master and professional levels. The general education foundation is the common base for all the University's undergraduate degrees. The College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Law historically have been and continue to be areas of strength for Washburn. As a metropolitan institution, programs in the Schools of Business, Nursing and Applied Studies, and the Division of Continuing Education are special emphases of the University. Washburn is also responsive to the needs of the recent high school and community college graduate, but it also has an additional commitment to provide educational opportunities for the adult learner.
