Middletown, CT

Wesleyan says its general education requirements are intended to introduce students to "key methods of thought and language that are indispensable to a liberal education as well as to our scientifically and technologically complex culture," "to the systematic study of human behavior, both social and individual," and "to languages and literature, to the arts and the mass media, and to philosophy and aesthetics."
