Academics

Embrace diversity. Think creatively. Lead ethically. 

Our undergraduate academic programs connect classroom theory with applied learning in the field, offering opportunities to actually get involved with the work. These hands-on experiences, required in every program, assure that you will develop practical career skills as well as an intellectually-intense educational experience. The typical Wells classroom is small and discussion-based, much like a graduate school. Your educational journey will also be supported by rich mentorship and advising as you work one-on-one with faculty throughout your course of study—and beyond. To broaden your academic opportunities even more, we also have close affiliations and articulation programs with nearby institutions such as Cornell University, the University of Rochester, and Columbia University that offer a variety of accelerated academic tracks.
