Wesleyan College
Wesleyan College is a private, liberal arts women's college in Macon, Georgia, United States. Founded in 1836, Wesleyan was the first college in the world chartered to grant degrees to women. It opened in 1839, two years after the opening of Mount Holyoke College.
The school was chartered on December 23, 1836, as the "Georgia Female College", and it opened its doors to students on January 7, 1839. The school was renamed as "Wesleyan Female College" in 1843, when its affiliation changed from the Methodist-Episcopal Church to the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The college shortened its name in 1917 to the present "Wesleyan College".
Wesleyan has the world's oldest alumnae association, begun in 1859. Wesleyan College is the birthplace of the first sororities in the United States: the Adelphean Society in 1851, now known as Alpha Delta Pi, and the Philomathean Society in 1852, now known as now Phi Mu. The two sororities together are referred to as the "Macon Magnolias". In 1914, the school ended all social sororities on its campus.
Wesleyan College has an undergraduate student population of around 600 with an acceptance rate of 62.1% and average high school GPA of 3.28. It has a student-faculty ratio of 7:1. In any given year, students from more than 20 states and over 20 countries around the world attend the college. Wesleyan offers 25 majors, 35 minors, and eight pre-professional programs. Students can earn a bachelor of arts, bachelor of science, or bachelor of science in nursing. Wesleyan is affiliated with the United Methodist Church.
In its 2026 edition, U.S. News & World Report ranked Wesleyan College fifth among 128 Regional Colleges South and ninth in the category "Top Performers on Social Mobility".
In 2024, Washington Monthly ranked Wesleyan College third among 223 colleges that award almost exclusively bachelor's degrees in the U.S. based on its contribution to the public good, as measured by social mobility, research, and promoting public service. In 2024, Washington Monthly ranked Wesleyan College first in the service rank for bachelor's college.
Wesleyan College has a 200-acre (800,000 m2) campus dotted with revivalist Georgian style brick buildings and features a 6.3-acre (25,000 m2) lake, Foster Lake.
Non-residential buildings on the (main) upper campus include:
