For more than 160 years, Wesleyan has championed the values of a liberal education: an education that prepares every student for an ever changing world. Wesleyan seeks to train minds and open hearts and asks students to contribute to the good of society and the world. Integrated into the safe suburban community of Middletown, Wesleyan's classic New England campus provides a safe and intimate learning environment. Our proximity to both New York City and Boston allows students to take manage the opportunities of an urban setting located just 2 hours away.
UNIQUE/SPECIAL PROGRAMS
Wesleyan provides students the best of both worlds: the resources of a top notch research university, while preserving the intellectual intimacy of a liberal arts college. Students are not encumbered by a core curriculum, and as a result learn to shape a well rounded education based on their interests. About 30% of undergraduates are members of minority groups, while 12% are the first in their families to attend college. Finally, Wesleyan is committed to meeting the full demonstrated financial need of all students.
