Washington and Lee University, the nation’s ninth oldest institution of higher education, is an independent liberal arts university that develops students’ capacity to think freely, critically and humanely and to conduct themselves with honor, integrity and civility.
Washington and Lee respects its students’ ability to govern themselves and fosters a community based on trust. As a consequence, students develop as leaders in all areas of campus life and go on to become leaders in their communities and professions. Through coursework, research, campus life and service to others, W&L students are deeply engaged in the local and global communities.
Washington and Lee’s faculty of teacher-scholars is committed to a student-oriented approach to scholarship, engaging and inspiring undergraduates in the classroom, the laboratory and beyond. By serving as both models and mentors, W&L faculty members have a profound, lifelong impact on their students.
Washington and Lee’s campus, a national historical landmark, has a timeless beauty. The town of Lexington offers small-town charm, and the Allegheny and Blue Ridge Mountains provide unparalleled natural surroundings.
