Why W&L?

The opportunities students have at Washington and Lee allow them to grow as scholars, compete as athletes, evolve as leaders, succeed in their careers and apply their skills to lead lives of consequence.

Our commitment to community means a commitment to affordability.
Affordability: Students with the intellect to excel and the selflessness to care should have the opportunity to lead. Through generous need-based aid and our renowned merit-based Johnson Scholarship, we aim to make our first-rate education accessible.
Students join a community strengthened by a student-run Honor System.
Community: At its core, W&L’s Honor System is a student-governed code of conduct that ensures fairness and honesty. Our students are expected not to lie, cheat, or steal, but that’s only part of the equation.
Students are welcomed into an active and engaged campus community.
Community: The number one thing to understand about life at a small college is that the campus is happening. Lively student activities programming, a thriving arts and music scene, 24 NCAA Division III sports, and outdoor adventure on the edge of campus ensure there.
Our pre-professional programs jump-start students' careers.
Opportunities: With a core liberal arts college, an undergraduate school of business, and a law school that integrates undergraduate studies in innovative ways, Washington and Lee University is uniquely capable of meeting the challenges of the modern world.
Our Spring Term allows students to delve deeply into an area of interest.
Opportunities: Washington and Lee University’s innovative 4-week, one-class Spring Term at the end of each academic year is interdisciplinary, intense, and anything but traditional.
Our students graduate with a degree that opens doors.
Outcomes: There’s a reason that Kiplinger’s Personal Finance, Niche.com, Time/Money magazine, and U.S. News & World Report all consider Washington and Lee one of the best college values in the nation.
Our students are engaged leaders in the community.
Outcomes: Graduates will be prepared for lifelong learning, personal achievement, responsible leadership, service to others, and engaged citizenship in a global and diverse society.
