More than a college, Wellesley is a force for change in the world. Every day, we prove Wellesley’s founding radical idea—that educating women leads to progress for everyone. A Wellesley education prepares students to realize their own highest ambitions and aspirations—and they do. Widely acknowledged to be one of the nation’s premier colleges and the top women’s college, we are unparalleled in educating path-breaking women in every arena. At Wellesley, students learn more, do more, and achieve more than they ever thought possible. Often this means exploring and excelling in fields where women are traditionally underrepresented, including STEM, economics, physics, and political science. That’s why our alumnae are a who’s who of trailblazers who rose above society’s expectations—and sometimes even their own. Our high-caliber faculty are at the forefront of their fields, receiving more research funding than their peers at any other college. They are drawn to our mission of women’s leadership, and their commitment to teaching our students is unmatched. Since 1875, Wellesley graduates have been a powerful force for good in the world—pioneering scientists, environmental revolutionaries, U.S. secretaries of state, civil rights activists, investment trailblazers, network news producers, and genre-defying artists. They are a community of changemakers fiercely dedicated to helping each new generation of students succeed. When it comes to finding a job or changing the world, our students never have to do it alone—they have a community to lift them up every step of the way.
