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

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

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. |3

We’ve had great success preparing our students for medical school. In fact, Illinois Wesleyan biology majors are accepted into medical school at a rate near 90 percent, compared to a national average of about 50 percent. And, our science students pursuing PhDs typically have multiple offers from top graduate and research programs.”

Titans

The Illinois Wesleyan Titans have a long winning tradition, both on and off the athletic field. More than 400 Wesleyan students take part in our intercollegiate athletics, competing on 18 varsity teams — nine men’s and nine women’s.

In 2011-12, five Titan teams finished in the top nine of the NCAA Division III national championships with women’s basketball claiming the national title, men’s basketball earning a trip to the Final Four, women’s track taking seventh in the indoor championship and ninth in the outdoor nationals, and women’s and men’s golf placing eighth and ninth respectively in their national tournaments. A total of nine teams qualified for NCAA postseason play, five teams won College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin titles and 15 studentathletes were selected to All-American teams. While NCAA conference championships are important, Illinois Wesleyan is most proud that it ranks 12th among all schools in NCAA divisions for Academic All-Americans with 113. This places us in the company of such elite institutions as Notre Dame, Stanford and MIT. The Titan athletic facilities are second to none and include the Byron Tucci football stadium, furnished with new artificial surface in 2011; Shirk Center Arena and indoor track; Jack Horenberger Baseball Field; Titan softball field; Neis Soccer Field; and Beadles-
