Career. Character. Service.

This is the foundation of a WAU education.

At Washington Adventist University we are dedicated to developing the whole person. As a Seventh-day Adventist learning institution located near the nation's capital, we are committed to ensuring that each of our students is equipped with the credentials essential for a meaningful life of distinctive service. 

You will see this in the curriculum of all 36 undergraduate and pre-professional degree programs. WAU students enjoy small classes with individual attention. They thrive in our family atmosphere, in a safe environment right outside of the nation’s capital.

We are led by our Christian identity. We are service-minded. We believe that service is emulating Jesus' example in the world — and we take our knowledge to serve through action. 

Excel at a place where you belong, where you will be known, and where you will be prepared for a career that is both successful and fulfilling.
