Education for Life

Mary Washington’s first-rate liberal arts education aims to exercise your mind – to make it strong, supple, curious, engaged with ideas, and better able to help you make your way in the world. You’ll learn to analyze, communicate, make connections, ask questions, find answers. You’ll look at things from all sides and see the world in new ways. You’ll learn to take a stand and defend it. You’ll learn to think. You’ll learn what matters. You’ll learn how to learn. And in the changing world you’ll graduate into, there’s no better skill set to take with you.

A close-knit, intimate environment is the best place for this kind of education. Why? Because to engage ideas you have to engage people – your fellow students and your faculty. It requires the kind of give-and-take that just isn’t possible from row 74 of a lecture hall. This kind of learning happens best in small classes where your voice gets heard, on a campus where people know and care about each other.

A first-rate education in an intimate environment – that’s a combination that’s hard to beat. And in our not-so humble opinion, it’s the perfect way to prepare for the rest of your life.
