Who We Are

We’re passionate about student-centered education. Think of how much further you’ll go with close student/faculty relationships; small, invigorating classes; and a supportive environment that rewards exploration. We stay focused on our goals by following the Wilson College Mission Statement and Honor Principle.

Our Campus

Our lush 300-acre campus is on the National Register of Historic Places—but it’s more than just a pretty place. Discover the organic farm at the Fulton Center for Sustainability Studies; visit the Gold LEED-certified Brooks Complex for Science, Mathematics and Technology; or hang out in the new learning commons in the newly renovated John Stewart Memorial Library.

Our History

We’ve evolved from a pioneer in women’s education to one of the “Best Value” schools for women and men in U.S. News & World Report’s annual college rankings guide. For nearly 150 years, we’ve been proud to provide education and resources that respond to changing student needs. 

The history of Wilson College is preserved in the rich repository of materials and artifacts contained in the C. Elizabeth Boyd ’33 Archives at The Hankey Center for the History of Women’s Education
