Our academic programs, flexible curriculum, entrepreneurial focus, and service learning empower you to grow in ways that fit your unique goals — whether that’s your inner Einstein, storyteller, investigator, or something entirely your own.

Here, undergraduates operate technology firsthand. Waynesburg University sets itself apart with $1M in new, cutting-edge chemistry and forensic science equipment routinely used in professional labs, providing students with unmatched hands-on learning rarely found at similar institutions.

Through hands-on experiences, you’ll build a portfolio that stands out to employers. For example, communication students start applying their skills week one, using professional equipment like cameras, microphones, lights, and more.

New construction and renovations continually enhance campus, providing the best possible experiences for students. Most recently, we completed construction on the Center for Criminal Justice and Forensic Investigation, which is equipped with high-tech simulators and superior training tools not available at other universities.
