Wheaton College (MA)An active community of learners which values the liberal arts as a means of personal growth, professional success and leadership that improves the world, Wheaton College’s reputation continues to grow. Being one of only a handful of liberal arts colleges in the United States to have produced three Rhodes Scholars in 5 years, its curriculum reaffirms the college’s commitment to the traditional breadth and depth of liberal arts and sciences while promoting study that crosses established academic divisions. At Wheaton, where classes are small, students know their teachers, advisors, supervisors of research projects as friends. Hence, a collaborative relationship is developed between them especially on research project or artistic endeavors such as gallery exhibitions and theater productions. Founded in 1834 as a leading female college, it only became coeducational in 1987. As every class encourages students to make connections between disciplines, between cultures, between theory and practice, outside the classroom, students translate knowledge into dynamic actions. Today, as its commitment to diversity, rooted from equality, is pursued by the college, broad opportunities and new development initiatives are on the way for the campus internationalization. |
