Wesleyan University → About Wesleyan → Strategy
At Wesleyan we prepare our students to face a rapidly changing world with confidence and the sense of responsibility to want to make the world a better place. This strategic plan for the period 2005-2010 describes continuing curricular innovations and renewed commitments to international studies and to science. It outlines priorities for academics, campus life, student aid, and physical infrastructure.
Wesleyan has reviewed its curriculum, facilities, finances, and competitive position. Our purpose is to assure that Wesleyan offers an extraordinary education, that Wesleyan’s preeminence is firmly established, and that we meet the challenges of the next century in a flexible and self-defined way. This Strategy for Wesleyan brings together principles, plans, and major pending decisions.
Cover Memo from President Doug Bennet
‘Wesleyan Education for the Twenty First Century’ provides us with a powerful definition of liberal education tuned to an era of rapid change. It anchors our vision of liberal education in essential capabilities and establishes the principles on which we will make ongoing curricular choices. It affirms the value of scholarship and teaching in a residential community and confirms that knowing how to learn is the most durable legacy of a Wesleyan education.
