About Wilson College
A rigorous academic program with low student-to-teacher ratios has been a hallmark of Wilson College since its founding in 1869. A collaborative environment and professors who are dedicated to mentoring students, both in and out of the classroom, create an educational experience that is focused on the individual student. Wilson connects career-oriented programs with a broad-based liberal arts education that teaches students to think critically and communicate with confidence—essential skills for career success. Wilson College’s mission is “to empower students to be confident critical thinkers, creative visionaries, effective communicators, honorable leaders, and agents of justice in their communities.”
Students can earn associate’s, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees, several of which can be earned completely online in programs designed for working adults and military personnel. Wilson College offers flexible, asynchronous online courses that allow students to study at their own pace, on their own schedule.
