Washington College is one of the top liberal arts colleges in the country. Students find a rigorous academic program taught by outstanding faculty who are remarkable scholars and mentors. With more than 30 majors across the disciplines and nationally recognized centers of excellence, Washington’s unique campus on the Eastern Shore—which features a 112-acre main campus, a waterfront campus in town and a 5,000-acre River and Field Campus—provides access to Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Philadelphia.
Washington students take advantage of an array of opportunities that not only broaden their education but have profound impact in pursuing successful careers after graduation. They engage in graduate-level research—often presenting findings at national conferences—and participate service learning, while choosing from among thousands of internship opportunities and range of study abroad programs.
The Washington College experience empowers students and motivates them to expand their perspectives in a community committed to diversity and inclusion. The focus is on academics, but we encourage students to put the books down and try new things. Washington’s residential campus has everything you would expect from a top-rated college—more than 100 clubs and organizations, 20 intercollegiate athletic teams, 14 of which compete in NCAA Division III and the Centennial Conference, as well as club and intramural sports, live theatre, dance, and music performances, leadership roles, volunteer opportunities and more.
A Washington College education, with its expansive opportunities both in and out of the classroom combined with strong outcomes for graduates, offers students and their families an exceptional value.
