Washington & Jefferson College (W&J) has been offering students a liberal arts education since 1781. Located about 30 miles south of , , Washington & Jefferson College is one of the nation’s oldest and most distinguished co-education, four-year liberal arts colleges for undergraduate students.

It develops the intellect and the soul. Tradition is important at W&J, the oldest college west of the Allegheny mountains. Historically, W&J has been a place for risk-takers, innovators, creative thinkers, and hard workers who have been engaged in struggles like carving out a new life on the frontier or fashioning new ways of being and thinking. W&J has always graduated men and women of uncommon integrity; the liberal arts experience here enables students to crack through the shell of conformity to emerge
