Extraordinary growth leads to extraordinary things
Since 1849, students majoring in the sciences at Waynesburg University have graduated to become leaders in health and medicine. Our students gain real-world experience through hands-on learning, guided by experienced and supportive professors. From conducting meaningful undergraduate research and presenting at national conferences to earning spots in competitive research fellowships and top graduate schools, our students do more than attend class—they explore, discover, and succeed.
Waynesburg University offers in-demand science and healthcare majors, including Biology, Exercise Science, Healthcare Management, Nursing, Pre-dental, Pre-medical, Pre-pharmacy, Pre-physical Therapy, and Pre-veterinary.
Grow through service
While guiding students in the development of specific skills and talents, Waynesburg also provides opportunities to apply and sharpen them through service. In fact, students, faculty, and staff spend approximately 50,000 hours each year working to improve the lives of others. Service opportunities include service learning courses, international and domestic mission trips, the Bonner Program, and personal service initiatives, among others.
Grow in grace
Waynesburg helps students develop academically and professionally on the foundation of faith. Students may choose to practice their faith every Tuesday at chapel, in their classes, in prayer or Bible study groups, through their artwork, while they're serving others, or in their own individual ways.
