From the Institution

Founded in 1782, Washington College was the first college chartered in the United States-and we've been preparing students to lead with purpose ever since. Our guiding principles are rooted in critical thinking, clear communication, and moral courage, giving you the confidence and perspective to make your mark on the world. Our modern liberal arts approach opens doors to careers in healthcare, communications, engineering, business, education, and more. What sets us apart is how you learn: through hands-on experiences like research, internships, study abroad, and civic engagement. And we don't just encourage you to pursue them-we help make them possible with dedicated funding through grants, stipends, and scholarships. Here, you're more than a name on a roster. You're part of a close-knit community that sees your potential from day one. Professors know you, mentor you, and challenge you. You'll have real conversations, take on meaningful work, and build connections that last well beyond graduation. Set along the beautiful Chester River, our campus gives you space to think, explore, and grow-while keeping you within easy reach of Baltimore, Annapolis, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia. It's the best of all worlds: a place where you can truly belong, with what's next always within reach.
