About
Washington & Jefferson College, proudly located in Washington, Pa., is a historic liberal arts college founded in 1781 that values ethical leadership, professional readiness, and inclusive communities. Our highly customized and intellectually engaging student experience develops professionals of uncommon integrity to lead in an ever-changing world.
W&J has simplified tuition! The traditional tuition pricing model in higher education has long been unnecessarily complicated for students and families seeking to determine the actual cost of a college education. Today's families are more cost conscious than ever and wish to easily understand the true value an institution can offer them. That's why we're revising the published tuition price to more clearly reflect the actual amount students and their families now pay for tuition at W&J.
For the 2023-24 academic year, our published tuition price will be $27,605, a 44.4 percent reduction.

Washington & Jefferson College Reviews
Coming in I had no clue what I wanted to major in and all of my professors have been super helpful in helping me figure out my path. Honestly the professors are one of the best parts of this school because they all really care about all of their students.
It is very easy to be a student athlete here and I have found that all professors and coaches are willing to work with you so that you can manage a reasonable schedule. Good time management is definitely necessary because classes are for sure challenging. All in all I say give W&J a chance :)
