The crisis is not that students lack potential. It is that too many students feel anonymous while making some of the biggest decisions of their lives.
WBU was built for something more personal. Professors who know your name, your story, your strengths, and what you are here to become. From your first semester to the day you walk across the stage, you will be more than a number.
Your degree should do more than fill a requirement. It should help you discover what you’re good at, who you’re called to serve, and how your life can make a difference.
Have you ever worried about how you’re going to pay for college?
You’re not alone. Almost every student we talk to is trying to find a college that fits their faith, their future, and their budget at the same time.
Williams
Works
Work That Forms You
We believe that a strong work ethic not only offsets educational costs but also instills lifelong values; through Williams Works, students work 16 hours per week during the academic year to have their tuition and fees completely covered, with opportunities to work during the summer to cover room and board, making debt-free graduation attainable.

The right way to play
College athletics should help you become more than a better player. It should help you become a stronger student, teammate, leader, and person. At WBU, we are not trying to turn student-athletes into brands.
We are helping students compete with purpose.
Recognizing the dedication and discipline of student-athletes, we provide scholarships across our 15+ athletic programs, empowering you to excel both on the field and in the classroom. Learn more about Athletics at WBU.
