Wheaton College is a coeducational, private, interdenominational Christian liberal arts college located in the small town of Wheaton, Illinois. The 80-acre campus is located just 25 miles west of downtown Chicago. Wheaton is deeply historical: It was a stop on the Underground Railroad thanks to the school’s very first president, Jonathan Blanchard, who was an active abolitionist.
The current student body is made up of approximately 3000 students who have access to 40 different majors. The vast majority of students, 88 percent, live on campus.
Wheaton College is home to an internationally recognized conservatory of music where 100 percent of the faculty have their doctorate in some musical field. Outside of music, the school also recognizes dozens of student organizations and has an active sports program.
The college’s current program encompasses 10 men’s and women’s sports. Both men and women can compete in basketball, cross county skiing, golf, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, and track and fields. There are also men’s football, baseball, and wrestling teams; women are welcome to compete in softball and volleyball. According to U.S. News & World Report, Wheaton is right in the middle of the top one hundred liberal arts schools in the country, holding the 56th spot on the list.
Wheaton College is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
