- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about Wesleyan College. Chartered in 1836 as the first degree-granting women's college in the world, Wesleyan College is a private four-year liberal arts college for women located in Macon. Consistently named to the Princeton Review 's Best 361 Colleges, as well as to U.S. News and World Report 's annual listing of "America's Best Colleges," Wesleyan enjoys a reputation as one of the South's premier educational institutions for women. "Forever first for women's education--striving for excellence, grounded in faith, and engaged in service to the world" is the college's mission, anchored by four cornerstones: excellence in academics, an environment rich with opportunities for women, a foundation of faith and shared values, and service to the world community.
