From Wesleyan
Wesleyan is where disciplines converge and coalesce, where passions are infused with purpose, and where explorers and achievers come from around the world to become their best—and most authentic—selves in a vibrant, inclusive community.
Our open curriculum does not rely on a required set of courses to graduate; students create their own unique combination of disciplines, fields, and interests to chart an academic path to a life that inspires them. In our distinctive scholar-teacher culture, you find professors, advisors, and mentors eager to guide and collaborate in preparation for a life of meaningful work.
In 45 majors, 32 minors, and a commitment to creative programming and interdisciplinary learning, you find freedom to immerse yourself in what you love and expand your horizons by experimenting in new interests and getting better at them. Our graduates lead and innovate in a wide variety of industries, including social advocacy, government, business, the arts, and science.
