Washburn University Revenue and Competitors

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 complements the educational program.
