Waynesburg University

Academics
Waynesburg offers more than 70 major concentrations and four integrated bachelor’s-to-master’s programs in business, counseling, criminal investigation, and education, as well as several affiliation agreements with regional medical and law schools. These agreements afford increased opportunities for acceptance into advanced professional degree programs.  

Beginning freshman year, hands-on learning opportunities abound. You might find yourself analyzing crime scene blood spatter in the Forensic Science Lab, leading a local youth group, writing for the award-winning student newspaper, or participating in a variety of other experiential learning opportunities applicable to your major.

Students are prepared for the real world by experiencing it. Sometimes required and always encouraged, internships are an important component of academic development. Recent international and domestic internships include Bosch, the Cleveland Clinic, CNN, the Department of Energy, and Walt Disney World.

Faith
As a proud member of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU), Waynesburg helps students develop academically and professionally on the foundation of faith. Faith is an integral part of the University’s mission and is reinforced in the classroom.

You may choose to practice your faith every Tuesday at Chapel, in your classes, in a prayer or Bible study group, through your artwork, while serving others, or in your own individual way. You will also have opportunities to discuss theory and application of faith as it relates to your future profession. Waynesburg University encourages you to build relationships within its Christian community. Through the spiritual opportunities and programs offered, Waynesburg University will provide everything you need to establish, explore, and cultivate a relationship with Christ.

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 50,000 hours each year working to improve the lives of others.

Whichever major you choose, you will have service opportunities that fit your skill set and interests. Opportunities include service learning courses and trips, the Bonner Program, student organizations that focus on serving others, and your own personal service initiatives.

Affordability
More than 90% of students receive some form of financial aid each year, and tuition, room, and board is more than $11,500 below the national average for a private, nonprofit, four-year college. Between Achievement Awards and additional scholarships; federal, state, and institutional grants; a number of work-study opportunities; and student and/or parent education loans, Waynesburg University is quite affordable.
