We strive to assist students in preparing for their future goals by helping them define their personal and professional objectives as well as explore and gain experience with careers that will help them achieve their goals.

George Washington gave us his stamp of approval. An intellectual and cultural hub now in its third century, Washington College holds a significant place in the history of American higher education. Our heritage as the first college of the new nation—founded in 1782 under the patronage of our nation's first president—lives on today in our commitment to educating confident citizens and leaders capable of advancing the democratic and civic traditions of our Founding Fathers. With a student-to-faculty ratio of 12-to-1, Washington College is passionate about providing you a truly personalized education, one that tests and stretches the limits of your talents and potential. Our intensely personal approach to undergraduate education is sufficiently distinctive to attract the notice of the national media. The editors of the Princeton Review recognized WC for great teaching and a small student-teacher ratio that fosters a close, supportive atmosphere for learning.
