THREE WAYS WESLEYAN IS DIFFERENT
NO MATTER WHERE YOU BEGIN, WESLEYAN WILL ACCELERATE YOUR CONFIDENCE, YOUR CONNECTIONS, AND YOUR FUTURE.
LEARN BY DOING, NOT JUST
LISTENING
How do you like to learn?
A lecture hall of 600 students or a classroom of 20?
At Wesleyan professors know your name. Discussions aren’t optional, they’re expected - helping you build the confidence to take part, speak up and lead. And, because classes aren’t held on Friday, you’ll have dedicated time for leadership experiences and hands-on learning built into your schedule.
UNDER 20 STUDENTS IN MOST CLASSES
BE KNOWN, NOT JUST ENROLLED
WOMEN CHAMPIONING WOMEN
Would you rather be lost in a crowd of thousands or live and learn in a place where your voice, goals and contributions matter?
Starting college is a big change. At Wesleyan, you will never have to navigate it alone – relationships are part of your education. Professors will know your strengths, mentors will notice when you need support, and your classmates will become the friends who encourage you to speak up, step forward, and try something new. Wesleyan women support and help open doors for one another that unlock opportunities which last long after graduation.
BUILD YOUR BEST FUTURE
Would you rather just hope that employers notice you or graduate with experiences they’ll remember?
At larger universities, thousands of students may compete for a limited number of internships. At Wesleyan, every student completes a paid internship, research experience, study abroad program, or other experiential learning opportunity before graduating.

Wesleyan provides its students with a lot of opportunities. Being at a small college, you’re not just a number. Starting my freshman year, I was already conducting independent research.At a large university, I feel like you’re one of several hundred students in a class.
