When you hire from Wesleyan, you will gain an employee who is both academically and professionally prepared. Our liberal arts graduates have depth of knowledge in their chosen fields combined with the breadth of knowledge that makes them great communicators, writers, and leaders.

Our students undertake rigorous career development preparation beginning their first semester on campus.

Our students also work individually with dedicated professionals to craft their resume or CV, practice mock interviews, and create a strategic plan.
