Bridgewater College

Bridgewater College is an independent, private liberal arts college founded in 1880 and was the first private coeducational college in Virginia. Located only two hours southwest of the Washington, D.C. metro area, Bridgewater has a total enrollment of approximately 1,800 students and offers bachelor of arts and bachelor of science degrees in more than 60 majors and minors, along with master's degrees, multiple concentrations, pre-professional programs such as medicine and law, dual degree programs and teacher certification. Learning at Bridgewater reaches far beyond the classroom...and far beyond the academic. Students develop not only intellectually, but also socially and ethically. Grounded in the liberal arts, students at Bridgewater College learn about a variety of disciplines, enabling them to become articulate, analytical and assertive. They are challenged by rigorous academics in a close-knit community and collaborate with faculty to create personalized and unique learning experiences. With more than 70 social, cultural, religious, and academic clubs and organizations, there is an opportunity for everyone to be involved on campus, and over a third of the student body participates in intercollegiate athletics at the NCAA Division III level. Bridgewater is committed to cultivating the full potential of its students to excel in all areas of life. Academic excellence, service, ethical values and a strong community shape the Bridgewater experience. Comment policy: bridgewater.edu/comments
