Wesleyan College
Overview
At Wesleyan College, "First for Women" isn't just a catchphrase – it's a way of life. Chartered as the Georgia Female College on December 23, 1836, Wesleyan is the world's oldest women's college.
The college was founded through the efforts of a group of Macon citizens and the Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, as evidence of their concern for the education of women.
Wesleyan continues to be a pioneer in women's education. Wesleyan concentrates its strengths in liberal arts education by offering one undergraduate degree: the A.B. (Artium Baccalaureate, or Bachelor of Arts). Majors and concentrations are available in 30 areas of study.
