- Washington and Lee is a small, private, liberal arts university nestled between the Blue Ridge and
Allegheny Mountains in Lexington, Va. Washington and Lee University is consistently ranked among the nation's top liberal
arts colleges and is the ninth oldest institution of higher education in America. This private university was founded in 1749
as Augusta Academy, with the name later changed to Liberty Hall Academy (1776), Washington Academy (1798), Washington College
(1813) and, in 1871, Washington and Lee University.
- Cradled between the Allegheny and Blue Ridge mountains in Lexington, Virginia, Washington and Lee
University has, since 1749, produced not only peerless scholars, but principled leaders with a commitment to civility,
service, and honor. One of the nation's top fifteen liberal arts colleges, W&L offers a unique convergence of arts &
sciences, law, journalism and commerce.
- Convinced that it helps to meet a vital need in American higher education by offering undergraduate
preparation in the arts and sciences of the highest possible quality, Washington and Lee provides a program that demands both
broad exposure to the principal areas of human knowledge and intensive exploration of a single field or discipline.
- Washington and Lee University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools to award the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Juris Doctor and Master of Laws. W&L
is also accredited by AACSB International (the association for management education); the Accrediting Council on Education in
Journalism and Mass Communications; and the American Chemical Society. The School of Law is a member of the Association of
American Law Schools and is approved by the American Bar Association.
