An affordable degree

Washburn University understands that the cost of college is an important--and sometimes daunting--factor in your college selection process. With competitive tuition and fees, attractive scholarship programs and an annual average of $54 million in financial aid awarded, however, Washburn makes the cost of college less scary and a more defining reason to become an Ichabod.
