Lisa Marsh Ryerson,
President of Wells College

It's quality and value

At Wells College, we offer a highly individualized experience that gives each student access to a wide array of opportunities and resources that support intellectual and personal development. 

Our approach is unique in the landscape of higher education, and we are committed to remaining a best value among liberal arts colleges. Students have learning opportunities both on and off-campus that are simply not possible at most other colleges and universities. 

I invite you to learn more about our community and the exciting possibilities available to you. Through quality higher education, you will excel in ways you never dreamed possible. 
 

  • Wells offers education of the highest quality at an affordable price for both women and men. This impressive combination makes us a best value among national liberal arts colleges.
  • All faculty members have doctorates or terminal degrees in their disciplines. And all classes are taught by professors - not teaching assistants. 
  • Wells students prepare for careers and entrance into top graduate and professional schools through experiential learning: internships, research with faculty members, study abroad, community service, and other options. 
  • All students at Wells benefit from an academic experience similar to honors programs available only to a small number of students at other institutions. Throughout their four years, they work toward a senior project or thesis that is comparable to graduate- level study. 
  • Wells prides itself on offering one of the most collaborative learning environments in higher education - small class size fosters a great sense of supportive, personal attention. 
Why Wells?

It's discovery, achievement, and connections that endure

The benefits of a Wells education can be observed in the lives and accomplishments of our graduates. They can be found in every field - as scientists, writers, environmental activists, psychotherapists, investment bankers, teachers, lawyers, medical researchers, and photographers. Beginning with your first day on campus, you form friendships that will endure for the rest of your life. 

It's real world experience

At Wells, your professors teach their academic specialties and work with you closely to connect knowledge learned in the classroom to careers and graduate study. You have abundant opportunities to work on original research with faculty members, study abroad in many different locations, hold a wide variety of internships, and participate in meaningful community service activities. Wells students receive credit for experiential learning and are also awarded scholarships to fund these activities. 

At Wells, you will discover who you are, who you want to be, and how to achieve your goals. If you are ready to embark on this journey of self-discovery, Wells is the place for you.
