Overview
Wesleyan College is a private, 4-year, women’s institution. Founded in 1836, Wesleyan was the first college in the world chartered to grant degrees to woman, and its 200-acre, wooded campus has since been added to the National Register of Historic Places. The university offers more than 60 undergraduate major and minor degrees and programs, as well as eight pre-professional degrees. The Munroe Science Center, the campus centerpiece, houses multiple labs and classrooms, as well as an astronomy observation deck, a greenhouse, a vivarium, and a simulation lab for the nursing program. Wesleyan campus is also home to the Confucius Institute, an award-winning Equestrian Center with dressing and jumping arenas, and the 104-acre College Arboretum.
