| Mission | |
| School mission | One of the most academically challenging colleges in the country and widely acknowledged as the nation's best women's college, Wellesley provides students with numerous opportunities on campus and beyond. With a longstanding commitment to and established reputation for academic excellence, Wellesley offers more than 1,000 courses in 53 established majors, and supports 170 student clubs and organizations. Wellesley's blend of high academic standards, strong sense of community, and dedicated faculty create an ideal environment for women who want to succeed. Because Wellesley is an undergraduate institution, students don't compete with graduate students for faculty attention, academic resources, the use of facilities, or research projects. Wellesley's admission process is 'need-blind' for U.S. citizens and permanent residents, which means that the college admits students without regard for their family's ability to pay. Wellesley is one of the few institutions that meets 100 percent of a student's demonstrated financial need and is committed to working with students and their families to make college affordable. Wellesley has boosted its generous financial aid to eliminate loans for students with the greatest need. One of the most socio-economically diverse colleges in the country, Wellesley provides financial aid to 55 percent of its students, placing it among a handful of colleges and universities that provide financial aid to more than half of its students. Wellesley is easily accessible to Boston, a great city in which to meet other college students and to experience theatre, art, sports, and entertainment. Considered one of the most diverse colleges in the nation, Wellesley students hail from 66 countries and all 50 states. |
