Wheaton College, Massachusetts

Ideally located in Norton, Massachusetts, between Boston and Providence, R.I, our residential campus is one of the most beautiful in New England. Prospective students and visitors often say our campus has a very relaxed feel. It’s no wonder—we’re a friendly community. With a 11:1 student-faculty ratio, students know their professors as teachers, advisers and often as friends. The campus is always buzzing with energy. Throughout the year, fun activities, celebrations and academic events keep people busy and connected.

Wheaton offers a personalized academic experience leading to a bachelor of arts degree in more than 40 majors and 50 minors. All students take connected courses which encourage interdisciplinary work. Our students have a reputation for academic excellence. Since 2000, Wheaton students have won more than 130 prestigious scholarship awards, including 3 Rhodes Scholarships. Our approach to education is inclusive and diversified, emphasizing a truly multicultural community.

Wheaton was founded in 1834 as a Female Seminary and chartered as a four-year liberal arts college in 1912. The college became coeducational in 1988 and its Phi Beta Kappa chapter was established in 1932. On July 1, 2004, Ronald A. Crutcher became Wheaton’s seventh president.

Throughout history, our reputation for academic excellence is a direct result of pioneering leadership. Today, we share with past generations the rich academic tradition of the liberal arts and sciences. At the same time, we benefit from a host of curricular initiatives begun during the past two decades—new programs that help us explore ideas and concepts across academic disciplines, link academic study with learning outside the classroom, appreciate diversity in all its forms, and see ourselves as active members of a global community.

Mission
