Curriculum flexibility and learning opportunities in a friendly and supportive community inspire undergraduates to explore their interests and develop new ones. Working with their advisors, undergraduates may choose a traditional single major, as many do.

We encourage our students to participate in internships, study abroad programs, research and scholarship, and over 200 clubs and organizations, rounding out Washington University’s commitment to help each student identify and pursue his or her passion.
Our students pursue their passions every day. Visit campus and ask them about their experiences.
