It's a top-ranked college that challenges students to grow their intellect in the context of developing a whole life--a school that combines serious study and academic rigor with Christian distinctiveness. Ranked by U.S. News and World Report as one of the top national liberal arts colleges, Wheaton attracts exceptional high school students from all 50 states and more than 40 countries. Established in 1860 as a co-ed, interdenominational Christian liberal arts college, Wheaton takes the pursuit of faith and learning seriously. Seeking to create a diverse, service-oriented community, Wheaton offers a rich curriculum that emphasizes global awareness and engagement. Students participate in a vibrant, growing multicultural community of talented, capable learners who are distinct in their desire to grow intellectually, to grow in relationship with one another, and to grow in Christ. Wheaton's concern for values is a long-standing tradition, not a trend. Wheaton has consistently appeared on the Honor Roll of Character Building Colleges established by The John Templeton Foundation. Such recognition reflects Wheaton's commitment to character building programs such as its Center for Applied Christian Ethics, Urban Studies Program, Human Needs and Global Resources Program (HNGR), Honduras Project, HoneyRock's Wheaton Passage Wilderness Program, and the many services and ministries of the Office of Christian Outreach. A profile of the Class of 2007 demonstrates the caliber of students that choose Wheaton. Of the 577 students who entered in the fall of 2003, 45 were National Merit Finalists. The group's average high school GPA was 3.7 and 61% graduated in the top 10% of their class. The middle 50% scored between 1250 and 1400 on the Critical Reasoning and Math sections of the SAT and between 27 and 31 on the ACT. 15% of Wheaton students are multicultural, and approximately 80% will graduate on time. Wheaton, with its emphasis on faith, learning, and service, is a place where students like this can thrive. More More
