A Wesleyan University education is characterized by boldness, rigor, and practical idealism. Students work at the highest levels, discovering what they love to do and applying their knowledge in meaningful ways. Wesleyan has no core requirements- students are free to design their academic experience as they please. They work with advisors to customize a broad and rich itinerary of study in the arts and humanities, the social and behavioral sciences, and the natural sciences and mathematics; while benefiting from close teacher-student interaction, first-rate facilities, award-winning faculty, and access to research opportunities that are usually found at larger universities.
