Located on a 160-acre campus in the center of Topeka, the capital of Kansas, Washburn University offers more than 200 programs leading to certification, associate, bachelor, master’s and juris doctor degrees through the College of Arts and Sciences and the schools of Applied Studies, Business, Law and Nursing. Washburn’s broadly-based liberal arts and professional education programs are enhanced by the tradition of an interactive relationship between campus and community.

Washburn University has been continuously accredited or approved by the Higher Learning Commission: A Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, 30 North LaSalle Street, Suite 2400, Chicago, IL 60602-2504.

Washburn University provides a broadly-based liberal arts and professional education by combining the most effective modes of educating: accomplished faculty, small class sizes, state of the art technology, modern learning techniques and unique opportunities available through an interactive campus and community relationship. One goal has remained constant through the years at Washburn: Instilling in students the desire for the continuous pursuit of knowledge.

Washburn University was established in February 1865 as Lincoln College by a charter issued by the State of Kansas and the General Association of Congregational Ministers and Churches of Kansas on land donated by abolitionist John Ritchie. The school was renamed Washburn College in 1868 after receiving a $25,000 donation from Ichabod Washburn, a church deacon and industrialist who resided in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Washburn’s mascot honors the school’s early benefactor, Ichabod Washburn. The original design of the studious-looking, tailcoat-clad figure was created in 1938 by Bradbury Thompson (B.A. ‘34), who became an internationally acclaimed graphic artist.
