Admission

Wheaton’s First-Year Student Application is intended for students who have not previously attended college.

To complete the online application, you’ll need to provide the following information:

1. Contact information and the term you’re applying for
2. Information about your high school and graduation or GED completion date
3. Your area of academic interest

Not sure what area is right for you? Explore our departments, majors and minors to find a program that aligns to your interests.

Wheaton may be the right place for you to continue your academic career as a transfer student. We are excited to learn more about your academic endeavors and experiences. We invite all applicants to connect with Kristen Cahalane-Petchar, Coordinator of Transfer Admission, should assistance be needed.

In order to be considered for admission to Wheaton College, please submit the Common Application for Transfer Students. This application can be found on the Common Application Web site.

International students are an integral part of the Wheaton community. We put a great deal of value on intellectual and cultural diversity. Wheaton’s 1,650 students come from more than 70 countries, making our suburban campus feel very global.

International students typically have a lot of questions about the application process as well as scholarships and financial aid. Just visit the international apply sections of the Web site for detailed step-by-step instructions.

While some of our students may be off campus during the summer months engaging in internships or relaxation, Wheaton is still a busy place. Along with summer research projects, new student orientation and campus tours, Wheaton offers three dynamic learning opportunities—Summer Session courses and the Summer Institute for Social Entrepreneurship, both for college students, and Discover@Wheaton Summer Seminar for High School Students.
