Why Wheelock?

A Wheelock education will thoroughly prepare your student for success—both professionally and personally. Wheelock graduates are highly regarded and very much in demand in some of the fastest-growing and most meaningful professions. Our liberal arts and professional programs provide students with career-specific knowledge and skills.

Professional programs prepare students for careers in fields such as Elementary Education, Early Childhood Education, Special Education, Social Work, Child Life, and Juvenile Justice and Youth Advocacy.

Arts and sciences programs—the Arts, American Studies, Communications, Human Development, the Humanities, and Math and Science—help build a strong foundation of skills and knowledge that young people need to succeed in any field, such as business, communications, counseling, government, health care, law, nonprofit management, and more.

Students have the flexibility to mix and match majors, minors, and other educational opportunities. And with Wheelock's participation in the Colleges of the Fenway consortium, your student can take courses at five neighboring schools.

On-the-job field experiences, a cornerstone of a Wheelock education, help our students gain real-world experience starting their very first year. Wheelock's extensive connections in the community ensure a wide range of high-quality placements for students in all of our programs.

Wheelock students graduate with a valuable degree and a strong resume—key elements in landing jobs in a wide range of careers.
