Areas of Study
Wesleyan offers 44 majors in 38 different departments and programs. The
point of your major at Wesleyan is to give you exposure to what scholars
and researchers do in a particular academic discipline. By the time you
graduate, you will understand the contemporary state of that field and the
questions and challenges that confront its contemporary thinkers.
Following is a list of Wesleyan majors, linked to the appropriate
departmental website. In addition, the University offers certificate
programs in environmental studies,
international
relations, and Jewish and
Israeli studies. Wesleyan students can design their own major,
called a "university major," if a committee of three faculty members agree
to supervise the program.

Certificate Programs
Certificate programs provide curricular options that complement current
departmental and interdisciplinary majors. They are designed to
bring coherence to programs of study that include courses from many
departments and programs. For each program, model curricula are provided
to guide students in their choice of courses. Wesleyan currently has
four certificate programs in place.
