Distinctive Academics

Wesleyan students are known for their curiosity and wide-ranging interests. Whether combining a deep interest in environmental science with a passion for dance, or a love of film with an affinity for statistics, our students learn to develop and apply their talents in ways that have practical real-world impact.

Our open curriculum challenges students to create their own program of study to achieve their curricular goals and our thoughtfully designed first-year programs aid students in transitioning to college and to taking more creative control over their academic pursuits.

Faculty Student Connection

With an 8:1 student-faculty ratio, our professors are more than just respected scholar-teachers, they are collaborative partners in learning and research mentors. Hear more about that special Wesleyan faculty student connection.

Distinctive Programs

Wesleyan's distinctive programs and interdisciplinary centers provide opportunities to dig deeper into specific areas of interdisciplinary study and to expand learning beyond the walls of the classroom and out in the world at large.
