Majors, Minors, and Professional Programs
When you come to Washington College, our liberal arts approach means you explore your academic interests to discover the major that is right for you and your career goals. You can choose from traditional majors like the English, biology, and psychology, or you can pursue career-oriented programs like our business management and communication & media studies majors, or pre-law, pre-health, and teacher certification programs. All are taught by outstanding faculty who serve as teachers, mentors, advisors, and research partners who motivate students to exceed their expectations.
Washington College offers dual-degree programs for environmental science, engineering, nursing and pharmacy. Post-graduate programs are available in athletic training, biomedical education, business management (accounting, business administration, finance, quantitative finance, business analytics, or management), emerging media, medicine & dentistry, or nursing.
