Mission  
School mission The college offers a challenging program--simply referred to as the Wheaton Curriculum--that offers students the flexibility to pursue their interests fully while also exploring the breadth and depth of the liberal arts. The program enables students to make connections among disciplines. Through a series of linked courses Wheaton students can approach the same topic from two or more academic perspectives. What's the benefit of this approach? Through connected courses you will discover doorways (which others don't yet know exist) to deeper understanding of the subjects most important to you.
