Wesleyan only offers one undergraduate degree, the Bachelor of Arts. As you earn that one degree, you'll acquire countless new ideas and perspectives. Our liberal arts focus results in students who think critically and write and speak effectively. Equipped with a liberal arts background, Wesleyan women leave campus with a unique perspective that makes them highly competitive for any professional field and quite successful at whatever they choose to do. In fact, you'll find Wesleyan women excelling in every field, including medicine, science, law, politics, civil service, education, business, engineering, and fine arts.



Every Wesleyan woman takes a group of General Education courses emphasizing writing, critical thinking, quantitative analysis, and artistic expression. The course of study starts off with the Wesleyan Integrative Seminar Experience (WISE), a seminar on women and the tools they need to succeed.



The Lane Center for Community Engagement initiates community leadership development and coordinates projects such as Aunt Maggie's Kitchen Table, Wesleyan Volunteers for Literacy, Habitat for Humanity, conferences, and other outreach efforts. Service is part of Wesleyan's curriculum, which includes several courses with a service component, not just tacked on as a burdensome requirement, but integrated fully into the classroom experience. We aspire to be a force for understanding and affecting the social, governmental, and economic forces that shape women's lives, both locally and globally.



The Center for Women in Science and Technology not only provides resources for Wesleyan women in mathematics, natural science, and technology but also promotes interest in science among young girls. The Center is located in the Munroe Science Center but its outreach efforts extend well beyond our campus. Wesleyan science scholars travel to local elementary schools and lead hands-on experiments through the KISMET program, and they design exciting summer experiences for middle school girls on our campus through the successful SPECTACLES camp program. The Center also sponsors visits by nationally known scientists, expanded pre-professional education, and summer continuing-education programs for science and math teachers in our area.
