Longwood University

Longwood University Community, tradition, caring faculty and small classes are the heart of Longwood. Since 1839.

Committed to a focus on the individual student, Longwood University is Virginia’s third-oldest public institution, preparing citizen leaders since 1839. With small classes and hands-on learning experiences built into every degree program, Longwood combines the feel, community and traditions of a private college with the accessibility and opportunities of a public university.

As we mark Constitution Day this week, President Reveley and Board of Visitors member Brian Schmalzbach offer a compelling reminder that colleges have an important role in helping students develop the habits of thoughtful, informed citizenship. We are proud that Longwood has long embraced that mission and is developing leaders who will participate thoughtfully in civic life.

On Constitution Day, Longwood University calls on higher education to rebuild public trust by championing free speech, civic education and democratic citizenship.
