Equity & Inclusion

DIVERSITY AMONG OUR STUDENTS

One of Wesleyan's greatest strengths


"Our ability to reach unity in diversity will be the beauty and the test of our civilization." Mahatma Gandhi

Based on key statistics and student reviews and by studying data from the U.S. Department of Education, analysts at Niche ranked Wesleyan College among the most diverse colleges in the United States (number 60 in the nation) in 2016. The ranking compares socioeconomic, geographic, and ethnic diversity. With students from all over the United States and from around the world, Wesleyan's student population represents a mix of cultures, ethnicities, religions, socioeconomic backgrounds, ages, sexual orientations, gender identity, range of abilities, national origin, education, financial means, education, political perspectives, and life experiences. Indeed, in many ways, Wesleyan looks like the world.
