Waynesburg University educates students to make connections between faith, learning and serving so that they might faithfully transform their communities and the world. As a Christian comprehensive University, we strive to inspire and challenge every undergraduate and graduate student to a life of leadership and purpose for the glory of God.
One of the many ways you can explore the links between faith, service and learning is by studying abroad for a semester. As a Waynesburg University student immersed in another country, you can embark on a great adventure while still connected to Waynesburg’s supportive atmosphere.
