Education for Everyone

The W was founded on the idea that a university education is for everyone. Today, the mission is the same. The university is nationally recognized for low student debt, top value, diversity, and social mobility. National rankings, small class sizes, and unique programs create a university that empowers you to be bold, follow your dreams, and a make a difference in your community. But most important to us, our students say, “It feels like home.” You don't have to take our word for it, see for yourself. Request more information or visit us on our beautiful campus.
