A Structure of Excellence
Virginia Wesleyan College offers a wide variety of majors across three divisions: Humanities, Natural Science and Mathematics, and Social Sciences (including Pre-professional Study). The possibilities for your education are endless!
When you attend college on our campus, you are welcome to design your own major — chart your own path — to end up with a degree tailor-made to fit your vision for your future. For example, one student created his own program that combines a major in German language with a music major. His collegiate experience not only involves a unique program on campus, but also spending a year in Germany immersing himself in the German language and studying the composers and rich musical history of the Rhineland.
The options are many at Virginia Wesleyan. The only certainty is that you will come away with an outstanding education, delivered at the hands of exceptionally talented professors who have equipped you well for the challenges ahead.
