Dr. Paul W. Armes,

While affordability and cost of higher education are vital
components, they really don’t tell the entire story, and the value
aspect is one to consider when choosing educational institutions
to bless financially. The truth is, higher education is really an
investment in the future, in students who will make an impact
on our world. And at Wayland, we believe that impact will also
have eternal spiritual implications as we invest in that important
facet of students’ maturity while on our campuses.
In this brochure, we’ll show you a little more about who
we are, the added value to our academic programs and why the
Wayland experience is worth your support.
