.P a ,, ,Q .. LEARNING FOR LIFE Homecoming festivities, movies, club meet- ings, coffee in the Union - all are activities which play a part of student life at Washburn. But the main reason we are here is for academ- ics, to learn, to grow, to develop intellectual curiosity. Some 6,830 students attend the university, maintaining an all-school GPA of 2.63. The stu- dent to teacher ratio is about 33 to l in the introductory classes which become smaller as students begin taking upper division classes in their majors. The largest college is arts and sciences, and the departments with the largest number of ma- jors are general business, computer science, po- litical science and criminal justice. The academic arena at Washburn is constant- ly expanding to serve new interests. Among the new baccalaureate programs this year are public administration, business education, public rela- tions and organizational communications. In ad- dition, new associate degree programs include radiation technology, medical records technol- ogy and electronic maintenance technology. Teaching and rapport with students is empha- sized by the Washburn faculty. A diverse group, two-thirds of them hold terminal degrees from all over the United States and many foreign countries. +5 E. w fl 'N 3 ' KKTK 2 it U Y S S in W .
