Washburn University has launched new courses that avoid textbooks, offsetting their financial cost, which will save students around $400,000 this semester. Washburn University announced on Thursday, Oct. 27, that it has established a Zero Textbook Cost course marking initiative. It said students in a ZTC course are not required to buy primary materials such as textbooks. It said these courses are marked in its course schedule with a special icon to make them easily recognizable to students.
