"After having taught junior and senior high school for several years, I was asked, with only a few days notice, to be the department chair of the math department as well as teach the upper level courses of trigonometry and calculus. Once again, I found myself relying not only on the math content I learned at Washburn, but also, and just as importantly, on the teaching methods of my professors."

"I am very grateful to Washburn University's Mathematics Department because I feel it is the personal attention I received from them that enabled me to be a success in my career today as an actuary. My success can be credited to the faculty who are very friendly and helpful. They wanted to see me succeed. The staff is composed of knowledgeable teachers with good teaching skills. The smaller class size was an asset to my learning experience because of the individual attention I received from the instructors."

"After attending three major universities, I can say with certainty that the quality of teaching is generally abysmal - with one major exception. The excellent teachers in Washburn's math department combined with the smaller class sizes available at Washburn provide an unparalleled opportunity for a willing student to receive an excellent education."
