College Advising
Prepared graduate and lifelong learner
With the intentional support from college advising, Wesleyan students are equipped to flourish academically, socially, and spiritually, and they are prepared to be leaders in their communities. We are proud to answer not only the question "where do Wesleyan students go to college?" but also the question "what type of people do Wesleyan students become?"
At Wesleyan, the college advising process begins with course planning for 9th grade students and expands progressively to guide families all the way through the college decision and scholarship process. The college advising office leads more than 45 touch points and conversations to equip students and families to discern the right college fit for their child.
Wesleyan students outperform state and national averages on both the SAT and ACT.
