Our Campus

Shaping the Future of Law

At American University Washington College of Law, we saw an opportunity to invest in and shape the future of law, just as our founding mothers saw an opportunity to create a law school that welcomed women into the legal profession 120 years ago. Our new 8 ½ acre Tenley Campus allows us to expand on our core values of equality, diversity, global vision and engagement, intellectual rigor, experiential learning, and a student-centered approach.
