Since 1888, Wheelock
College has been providing a transformational
education to students passionate about making the
world a better place—especially for children and families.
While most of our students elect to work in the helping professions of
education, social
work,
child life, and juvenile justice and youth advocacy, many pursue, and make exceptional contributions to, a wide variety of professions.
We offer a unique blend of:
A mission-driven focus;
Close collaboration with faculty in small classes;
An array of undergraduate arts and sciences programs coupled with professional programs that enable most students to graduate with double majors;
Graduate offerings that support professionals throughout their careers; and
Real-world
work experiences each semester at Wheelock that help students integrate theory with real-world practice, making them highly sought-after graduates.
Together, these catalysts for change help our students develop the knowledge, confidence, perspective and drive to pursue personal and professional lives of substance, meaning, and satisfaction anywhere in the world they choose to live and
work.
As a highly respected advocate for social policy, Wheelock also helps to shape and strengthen the social systems that positively impact children and families around the globe.
