Like so many other educational institutions, Wellesley College’s primary goal is to provide a formal education to its students so that they are prepared to integrate into the workforce after graduation. In addition to providing a rigorous liberal arts education, Wellesley prides itself in cultivating a diverse and inclusive community which molds its students into global citizens.
