Walla Walla University is dedicated to the academic, spiritual, social and physical aspects of a total education. Believing that these dimensions are closely related, the University provides a broad range of activities and opportunities designed to add depth and maturity to a Christ-centered life.

Founded in 1892, Walla Walla University is a private university affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. More than 1,800 students of diverse backgrounds attend the school, which welcomes any student who desires an exceptional Christian education.

Walla Walla University is fully accredited and offers more than 100 areas of study in liberal arts, professional, and technical programs. The largest undergraduate programs are business, education, and engineering. Graduate programs in education, biology, and social work are also offered.

Located on a 55-acre campus in College Place, Wash., WWU also operates a School of Nursing in Portland, Ore., and a marine station on the Puget Sound near Anacortes, Wash. A graduate social work program is offered in Missoula and Billings, Mont.

Walla Walla University offers exceptional education, grounded in small class settings with faculty who can offer personalized attention to students. More than 40 percent of our students live in campus housing, establishing a full schedule of after-class activities.

As a Seventh-day Adventist school, religion classes are part of the curriculum. No classes or offices are open from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday, a time regarded as the Sabbath. During Sabbath hours, WWU offers church services, religious programs and recreational outings.

The university is located in southeastern Washington state, where a four-season climate offers recreation options and a scenic environment. The city of Walla Walla, home to two other colleges, has a rich arts community. The town ranked among America's 100 best small art towns by John Villani in his book, The 100 Best Small Art Towns in America: Discover Creative Communities, Fresh Air, and Affordable Living. In 2001, Walla Walla was awarded "The Great American Mainstreet Award."
