Points of Pride

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 students to follow their dreams and make a difference in their communities.
