Women come to Wesleyan to study everything from engineering to early childhood education to neuroscience. And they come from all over – more than 20 countries, and states as far away as California and Washington.

Why? Because a small, selective school offers you all the opportunities for leadership – whether as captain of the team, chair of the committee, or president of the class. You’ll be free to explore and express yourself  in a supportive environment. Our close-knit community campus is a 24/7 exchange of ideas. 

Wesleyan offers 32 majors and 29 minors (plus the very cool option of designing your own interdisciplinary major) and pre-professional programs in dentistry, engineering, law, medicine, pharmacy, allied health services, seminary, and veterinary medicine. For women interested in pursuing careers in engineering, Wesleyan offers dual engineering degrees in conjunction with Georgia Institute of Technology, Auburn University, and Mercer University.

Wesleyan also offers two outstanding graduate degree programs for men and women: an Executive Master of Business Administration program and a new Master of Education in Early Childhood Education program. Plus, Wesleyan offers a wide range of undergraduate programming specifically for nontraditional adult students including the popular Encore day program and several Evening Degree programs.

Wesleyan is recognized nationally for excellence. In fact, according to the 7th annual report of the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), Wesleyan outperformed the Top 10% of colleges and universities nationally in all five categories studied: active and collaborative learning, enriching educational experiences, level of academic challenge, student-faculty interaction, and supportive campus environment.

The Princeton Review not only names us one of "The Best 371 Colleges" but also claims we’re one of the nation's best values. Wesleyan was chosen for the new 2009 edition of America's Best Value Colleges because of our “excellent academics” and “relatively low costs of attendance.”

Recent information released from the Indiana University Center for Postsecondary Research (IUCPR) suggests that students at women's colleges are better served than their peers at coeducational institutions. Wesleyan students corroborate these national study findings. Find out why one student claims, “The fact that Wesleyan is a women's college kept me focused and motivated to achieve only the best.”
