Hands On Learning

Hands On Learning

The most powerful part of a liberal arts education is found in a single, unfettered conversation between a teacher and a student. At Washington College, we often speak of “unhurried conversations” and how important they are to the distinctive character of our campus and the education we offer. Learn more at #unhurried.

From studying on the Chesapeake Bay to interning at The White House, there’s something for everyone at Washington College. An education at Washington College affords students unmatched opportunities to work closely with an exceptional faculty on unique projects. These experiences and internships offer students opportunities to explore their interests beyond the traditional classroom environment. Connections forged between students and faculty in the classroom have led to lifelong learning and friendly relationships to last a lifetime.
