At a Glance
W&L prepares students to meet the world’s challenges as ethical leaders, visionary thinkers and compassionate citizens.
Some decide to attend for its small size and personal attention; others will say it’s our academic reputation, scenic location or engaged community. Whatever their reason, once here, students find a place to grow intellectually, unlock opportunities and prepare for the future. W&L students hold each other to the highest standard of integrity, united by the student-run honor system. And when they graduate, they do so as critical thinkers with a network of support, lifelong friendships and a degree that opens doors.
“I have achieved so much in my short time at W&L, and I know the sky is the limit when it comes to the future!”
