Graduate and Adult Learners

Lifelong Learning is a major facet of Washburn’s educational approach. We accomplish this through a variety of graduate and adult learning programs, including tuition-free audit programs for those 60 and older and other community and continuing education programs.

New Student Orientation

New student orientation is for new first-year students who are coming directly from high school or took time in between high school and college with no college credit. New student orientation is required for all new first-time, full-time students. Transfer and returning students are highly encouraged to participate in a new student orientation, but not required.
