“My first visit to Wesleyan’s campuswas as a high school freshman attendinga cheerleading camp. A couple of yearslater, when considering college choices,I did not even apply anywhere else.I just had a feeling this was the placefor me. I wanted to concentrate onmy academic goals and I felt thatWesleyan would be a supportiveenvironment. Between accessiblefaculty and a community of sisterhood,Wesleyan exceeded my expectations.”

“Students at WesleyanCollege are incrediblyinvolved, love to have agood time, and we allknow how to get seriouswhen it’s time to getserious.”

Excerpt from The Princeton Review’sannual college guide.

Hardworking& Outspoken

“At Wesleyan, classes are small, focused, and personal. Professors

challenge you to think harder, aim higher, and seize opportunity.”

When the average class size is just 10 students,it’s impossible to sit back and be quiet. Ourprofessors truly do encourage spirited discussionand debate, challenging students to think acrossdisciplines and delve into moral and ethicalissues. Not only are students required to beprepared and to speak up but also they’rerequired to invest fully in their own futures.The Princeton Review gives Wesleyan anacademic rating of 97 and ranks us 16th inthe nation for “Best Classroom Experience”and “Class Discussion Encouraged.”

“Wesleyan has given memuch more than knowledge.As a Wesleyan Woman, I amdetermined to pursue socialjustice and to positivelychange the world.”

Clearly, our high score indicates a

low incidence of overindulgence.

Our students are consistently

recognized for low alcohol,

liquor, and marijuana use. That’s

not to say that Wesleyan women

are prudes or prohibitionists.

They just know what it doesn’t

take to get into graduate schools

at places like Yale, Stanford, MIT,

and Duke.

A parent’s guide to Wesleyan.History. Chartered in 1836, Wesleyan was the first college in the world to grant degrees to women.

Every year since then, Wesleyan women have been making history. First for Women isn’t just a claim

to fame — it’s a philosophy that separates our learning community from all others. We’re anchored in

tradition and guided by an innovative spirit, and we take our role as a pioneer in women’s education

seriously.

Campus.Our beautiful 200-acre wooded campus, along with thirty historically significant buildings, is

listed in the National Register of Historic Places as the Wesleyan College Historic District. Wesleyan

is nestled in a northern suburb of Macon, the third largest city in the state. Beautiful, white-columned

Georgian-styled buildings surround a classic quadrangle that plays host to many college events. Our

150-year-old trees are a beautiful contrast for our recently renovated residence halls; multi-million

dollar athletic, wellness, and equestrian facilities; and a state-of-the-art science center. It’s a truly

inspired setting.

Recognition.Wesleyan is regarded as one of the nation’s finest liberal arts colleges and is consistently

recognized for academic excellence. According to the seventh annual report of the National Survey of

Student Engagement (NSSE), Wesleyan outperformed the Top 10% of colleges and universities nationally

in all five categories studied: active and collaborative learning, enriching educational experiences, level of

academic challenge, student-faculty interaction, and supportive campus environment.

Student Life. Students from across the U.S. and more than twenty other countries value a rigorous

academic program renowned for its quality. An exceptional faculty teaches classes in seminar style.

A student-faculty ratio of 9 to 1 ensures that each student is more than just a grade or a number.

The acceptance rate of our students into medical, law, business, and other graduate programs is

exemplary. Beyond the academic, Wesleyan offers a thriving residence life program, NCAA Division

III athletics, championship IHSA equestrian program, and meaningful opportunities for spiritual

development and community leadership.

Academics.We offer undergraduate degrees in 31 majors and 26 minors, as well as eight pre-

professional programs including seminary, engineering, medicine, pharmacy, veterinary medicine,

allied health services, dentistry, and law. Students also have the opportunity to self-design their

own majors. Wesleyan offers a dual-degree program in engineering with the Georgia Institute of

Technology in Atlanta; Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama; and Mercer University in Macon. A

Master of Education program and an accelerated Executive Master of Business Administration

program enroll both men and women.

Tuition.Wesleyan offers a strong merit scholarship program and is recognized as one of the nation’s

most affordable selective colleges. In fact, according to the editors of USA TODAY and The Princeton

Review, Wesleyan is the nation’s #9 Best Value Private College because of our low costs of attendance

and near perfect academic ratings.

2011-2012 Annual Tuition: $18,500; plus $8,200 room& board.
