The Academic Program at W&L

Washington and Lee is composed of two undergraduate divisions, the College and the Williams School of Commerce, Economics, and Politics; and a graduate School of Law. The undergraduate institution offers 39 majors and more than 1,100 courses—an enviable curriculum for a school of only 1,770 undergraduate students. W&L also features the only fully-accredited business school and fully-accredited journalism program among the nation's top-tier liberal arts colleges.

The School of Law, one of the smallest nationally recognized legal programs in the country at about 400 students, has its own dean and faculty. It offers both the Juris Doctor degree and the Master of Laws degree in United States Law for international law graduates.

In 2010 W&L will be instituting a new 4-week undergraduate Spring Term to follow the two 12-week terms (fall and winter). Learn more about the new Spring Term: The 2008-09 Quality Enhancement Plan: Revitalizing the Spring Term.
