Undergraduate Academics
Whatever you choose to study at Wesleyan, you won’t stand on the sidelines reading the outcomes of someone else’s work or relying on the pages of a textbook to tell you what you need to know.
You will engage in insightful discourse and debate, challenge your assumptions, and work through purposeful, hands-on collaboration in the classroom, in the lab, and out in the world. At Wesleyan, you will learn to think independently, consider different perspectives and points of view, make an argument for what you believe, and develop fundamental critical thinking and communication skills that will serve you for a lifetime.
With our flexible liberal arts framework and open curriculum, dedicated faculty, integrated research opportunities, and action-oriented student culture of collaboration, you will have all you need for an impactful and distinct educational experience that’s right for you.
