More Than a Century of Leadership in Education and Advocacy

Founded in 1888 in Boston MA, Wheelock College is a private, coeducational college with the public mission of improving the lives of children and families - and society, in general. Our mission underpins everything we do - from our academic programs to field experience to faculty research and community outreach.

Our undergraduate programs provide students with a strong foundation in the arts and sciences and outstanding professional preparation in the fields of education, child life, and social work. Our graduate and professional development programs - including master's degrees, professional course clusters, and summer institutes - provide students with the knowledge and skills to advance in their careers.
