THE UNIVERSITY
Founded in 1849 by the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Waynesburg University is a Christian higher education institution that provides a valuable, personal and hands-on educational experience preparing undergraduate and graduate students for lives of purpose and continued growth, offering more than 70 undergraduate major concentrations as well as more than 30 minors, and several integrated bachelors-to-masters programs. The University also offers graduate programs, with some available 100 percent online. 

Our traditional yet modern campus, located in the foothills of southwestern Pennsylvania near the city of Pittsburgh, is surrounded by beautiful parks, historic brick buildings, and a community of friends. We also have three Graduate and Professional Studies Program locations in the Pittsburgh region.

Our University community is made up of approximately 1,400 undergraduate students who, along with their focus on rigorous academics, also attend the 150+ campus faith events we offer and contribute to the 50,000 hours of service learning and community/civic engagement yearly. These students may also compete on one of our 20 NCAA Division III athletic teams or participate in one of the other nearly 50 clubs and organizations on campus.

THE LOCATION
Waynesburg is a borough and the county seat of Greene County, Pennsylvania, located about 50 miles (80 km) south of Pittsburgh. With a population of approximately 4,200, Waynesburg is growing but it still maintains its neighborly feel.

Stroll along the quaint streets and find unique shops and restaurants. The town's forefathers allowed for community green space in their planning and today, just two blocks from the heart of downtown, a wonderful park system exists.

Residents have the best of both worlds. The rural lifestyle is flavored by the past and reflects the agricultural and mining heritage of this area. Yet, with I-79, one is an hour from Pittsburgh and major league sports, cultural events, world-class medical care and the urban experience.

Stable, but never static, Waynesburg offers a place to kick back and enjoy the world from a distance without losing touch. Waynesburg's beauty and historical setting is a visitor's delight. Visitors may use Waynesburg as an excellent launching point for short drives to spectacular and breathtaking views and sights in Southwestern Pennsylvania.
