Why W&J's Model Matters

W&J is built around the idea that a small college can still be ambitious. Students are encouraged to shape their education, join organizations and prepare for life after college through a mix of academic and co-curricular experiences.

That makes the college feel personal without feeling limited.

Global And Career Opportunities

The college includes study abroad among the experiences it promotes, and it also highlights pre-professional opportunities and a strong alumni network. That makes it a good environment for students who want both a classic college feel and a path into the world beyond campus.

How To Make The Most Of W&J

Students should:

• Join clubs early
• Use faculty office hours
• Explore study abroad options
• Participate in campus events
• Take pre-professional opportunities seriously
• Use financial aid resources carefully

W&J rewards students who get involved and use the small-campus environment to build relationships quickly.
