2,050undergraduates Illinois Wesleyan’s 2,050

students, all undergraduates,

come from 30 states and 24

countries around the world.

What’s Your Passion?Whatever it is, we’ll encourage you to pursue it.

Our undergraduate focus means classes are taught by

professors, not graduate teaching assistants. This combined

with small class sizes means that students receive the kind of

individual attention that makes a difference in their education

and lives.

Outside of the classroom we offer a vibrant campus life that

includes a broad range of organizations, athletics and activities

that are comparable with those found at larger schools.

This combination of strong academics, undergraduate focus,

personal attention and great campus life sets Wesleyan apart.

Illinois Wesleyan is a highly selective undergraduate liberal arts university, nationally recognized for a curriculum that combines the liberal arts with well-respected business, pre-professional and professional programs. We pride ourselves on the individual attention our students receive, the academic choices and out of class opportunities we provide, and the success they have after graduation.

With an average class size of 17,

Wesleyan can deliver.

Your education is more than preparing for a career; it’s really about preparing for life. That’s why at Illinois Wesleyan we’ll encourage you to pursue a variety of interests and passions, both inside and outside the classroom.

For over 160 years an Illinois Wesleyan education has been focused on

serving undergraduate students and delivering on our motto of Scientia et

Sapientia — knowledge and wisdom. That means at Wesleyan we want you

to get more from your education than facts and figures. We want you to

learn how to think critically and creatively, so you can apply that knowledge

to succeed in all aspects of your life.

With 184 inspiring faculty who are dedicated to teaching, facilities that

compete with larger institutions and entering classes of students perennially

ranked among the nation’s top 50 for student quality, Illinois Wesleyan is a

small school with a big tradition of academic excellence and a real interest

in your success.

like the Fulbright, for two primary

reasons: a liberal arts education that

encourages study and research across

disciplines as well as the flexibility to

demonstrate leadership potential in

various aspects of student life. The

liberal arts curricula and programs at

IWU foster creativity, critical thinking,

effective communication, strength

of character and a spirit of inquiry.

These are essential skills for any

successful, post-graduate endeavor.”

Christina IsabelliChair and Professor of Hispanic Studies

IWU Fulbright Program Advisor

“ IWU graduates are strong candidates for prestigious post-graduate programs,

Individual Attention

At Illinois Wesleyan the average class size is 17 students and, unlike most

larger universities, professors — not graduate students — will teach you.

As a result, you’ll get to know your faculty and they’ll get to know you.

That kind of personal attention is just one of the reasons why Illinois

Wesleyan competes with both large and small schools for top students.

Flexible Curriculum

Another important reason to consider Illinois Wesleyan is our flexible

liberal arts curriculum, which encourages students to pursue multiple

interests and talents. Every year we have a large number of students who

decide to double major or pursue very different majors and minors. So if

you love music but want to pursue a career in medicine, Wesleyan is the

place for you.

Our distinctive curriculum starts with a liberal arts core that spreads

across all academic disciplines. We offer 42 major areas of study ranging

from the traditional liberal arts to well-regarded programs in business, the

fine arts and nursing. Our eight exceptional pre-professional programs

include medicine, law, dentistry, engineering, veterinary science, forestry

and environmental management, physical therapy and occupational

therapy for those who want to pursue graduate and professional school

in one of these areas.

Liberal Arts Focus

The liberal arts are part of every student’s

education at Illinois Wesleyan. It touches

all 50 areas of study, from English

and biology to business and Hispanic

studies to music and nursing. The liberal

arts core enables our students to discover the interconnectedness of

knowledge through a challenging curriculum beyond their majors.

We strive to develop our students’ critical thinking and communica-

tions skills, strengthen their cultural literacy and help them to become

more globally aware and ethically grounded.

Illinois Wesleyan prides itself on graduating well-rounded, inquisitive

individuals who can successfully adapt to new and changing demands.

Regardless of their chosen major, all students at Illinois Wesleyan take a

liberal arts core that helps them to develop these essential skills.

Graduate and professional schools and employers often stress the

benefits and importance of the skill set honed from a liberal arts

education. In fact, the highest placement rates to medical and law

schools, graduate programs and employment are consistently found at

liberal arts institutions.

It comprises a skill set that grows

from the student’s mastery of

literacy. By teaching closely, face-

to-face, our goal is to help students

to become the best and most

proactive thinkers and leaders, and

that is ultimately in the interest of

making civilization better.”

50majors and programs

from the liberal arts, business, fine arts,

and nursing to pre-medicine, pre-law,

pre-engineering and more, you will be

able to explore all of your interests.

Another distinctive feature of Illinois Wesleyan is our 4-4-1 academic

year — two four-month (15-week) semesters and one optional May

Term session.

May Term

offer curricular experimentation, nontraditional or interdisciplinary

approaches, or close student-faculty collaboration. For May Term,

students can elect to take a class on campus, participate in an internship,

collaborate with faculty on a research project or take a travel study class.

Study Abroad

As part of an increasingly global society, Illinois Wesleyan encourages its

students to engage in study abroad opportunities. The University has its
