About Wellesley College

About Wellesley College Founded on the radical belief that educating women leads to progress for everyone. Wellesley College has long championed intellectual rigor, diverse perspectives, and impactful leadership. For nearly 150 years, Wellesley graduates have been a powerful force for good in the world—pioneering scientists, environmental revolutionaries, U.S. secretaries of state, civil rights activists, investment trailblazers, network news producers, and genre-defying artists. We know from experience that the boldest ideas and the most enduring solutions emerge from a variety of voices, backgrounds, and experiences. Located on a stunning campus just 30 minutes outside of Boston, Wellesley College is one of the most academically challenging institutions of higher education in the country, and widely acknowledged as the top women’s college in the world. The College is dedicated to ensuring every student has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, nationality, physical ability, or any other identity. Our student body reflects this commitment, with the Class of 2028 consisting of 18% who are the first in their families to attend a four-year inst...itution, 55% coming from multilingual homes, and 54% identifying as domestic students of color. Wellesley actively seeks faculty and staff who share our dedication to diversity, equity, and inclusion. As an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer, we encourage candidates who resonate with these values to apply. Our vibrant academic community values rigorous inquiry, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and practical application. Wellesley’s acclaimed faculty are at the forefront of their fields and students are consistently challenged to reach their full potential. While we are the ones who so often become the “firsts”—but we are even prouder of the “nexts” our community makes way for. Wellesley College provides a robust array of benefits and resources for employees, including comprehensive health plans, wellness programs, continuing education, and competitive retirement plans.
