About Washington College

Founded in 1782, Washington College is a private liberal arts college in the Chesapeake Bay watershed on Maryland's Eastern Shore and was the first college chartered in the sovereign United States of America. General George Washington lent us his name, donated 50 guineas to our founding, and served on our first Board of Visitors and Governors. Our goal back then was to cultivate responsible citizen-leaders. Nowadays, we're committed to giving our students the chance to succeed on their own terms through purposeful choices, enabling a healthy and regenerative global community.
