Bridgewater College has led the way for more than 125 years developing leaders in fields such as business, industry, medicine, law, communications and education. Bridgewater was founded in 1880 as the first coeducational college in Virginia and has had its character shaped by two major influences—the University of Virginia and the Church of the Brethren, with which Bridgewater is affiliated.
Academically, Bridgewater offers a breadth of intellectual experiences while allowing for proficiency in specific disciplines. As a liberal arts college, Bridgewater prepares students to gain a comprehensive appreciation for the social sciences, humanities, and natural sciences. A liberal arts education equips students with essential skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, analytical processing, communication and organization—skills they need to succeed in all areas of life.
