Be Your Best Self at Washburn
We're often mistaken for a private university because of our academic quality, small class sizes and beautifully maintained campus. But Washburn is a publicly funded, independently governed school. You can choose from more than 200 academic programs and experience a vibrant campus life featuring dozens of student organizations. At $300 per credit hour, you'll find that our tuition is extremely competitive with other four-year institutions in Kansas. Learn more about our tuition rates and cost of attendance.

Meet Starla: Washburn Success Story
A junior from Sabetha, Kansas, Starla exemplifies students at Washburn. She is majoring in communications and has taken advantage of numerous opportunities to get involved on campus.
Starla is a student ambassador and works in the Admissions Office. She's also a Summer Orientation Counselor who helps the newest Ichabods transition into life at Washburn.
"What I really love about my job is that I get to build connections with new students during NSO and see them grow after they get to campus," she said. "My favorite thing about Washburn is that it genuinely feels like a community here. It has a small-town feel, but it's not in a small town."
Starla is a member of the Greek community and Panhellenic Executive Council, as well as a recruitment counselor. She's also been a member of Washburn Student Government Association and works at a nursing home in her hometown once a month on the weekends.
Starla plans to work in higher education after receiving her degree from Washburn.
