Thanks for being here. We hope this is the start of something great.


Our 2,300 students come from all over the U.S. and from more than 50 countries! Many of our faculty were trained or currently conduct research abroad. Some of our most prominent programs, from the Albright Institute to the Wellesley Centers for Women, are explicitly global in scope. Our stunning 500-acre campus is located in the suburban town of Wellesley, 12 miles from Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts—one of the world’s great concentrations of intellectual, entrepreneurial, and technological innovation.

Wellesley is committed to meeting 100% of the calculated need for all admitted students. More information on financial aid and applying for financial aid can be found on this page.

International students at Wellesley are students who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents. If you have any lingering questions, just jump over to our FAQs for international students for even more (insightful! helpful!) information.
