Wheaton College

Wheaton’s mission statement expresses the stable and enduring identity of the College - our reason for existence and our role in society and the church. All the purposes, goals, and activities of the College are guided by this mission.

Wheaton College exists to help build the church and improve society worldwide by promoting the development of whole and effective Christians through excellence in programs of Christian higher education.

This mission expresses our commitment to do all things - "For Christ and His Kingdom."

Ranked by U.S. News & World Report as one of the Top National Liberal Arts Colleges in the nation, Wheaton attracts exceptional high school students from all 50 states and more than 50 countries.

Established in 1860 as a co-ed institution, Wheaton is a private, four-year residential and interdenominational Christian college that takes the pursuit of faith and learning very seriously. In addition to upholding an academically rigorous curriculum, Wheaton is committed to being a community that fearlessly pursues God's Truth, that invests in developing whole, well-rounded students and that prepares its graduates to lead lives that make a difference in the world.

We take immense pride in the work of our faculty - top scholars who are dedicated to classroom teaching and the shaping of students’ lives.

What is the personality of Wheaton College? We're a community that is devoted to helping students integrate their faith, learning, and living. Whether coordinating a '70s roller-disco, digging trenches for an irrigation project in Honduras, facilitating a pivotal business meeting, or raising awareness about systemic racism, Wheaton students are engaged in a variety of experiences that contribute to both their growth as Christians and the Wheaton community. The SAO strongly believes that being a Wheaton student is about more than attending class.
