Located just outside Rochester, N.Y. - one of America's most livable cities - Roberts Wesleyan College is a vibrant private institution that has been educating for character since 1866. We are pleased to be on the Kiplinger's Personal Finance list of Best Values in Private Colleges, as well as the John Templeton Honor Roll of Character-Building Colleges.
With an enrollment of nearly 2,000 and more than 50 academic, professional and pre-professional programs from which to choose, Roberts has the resources and the reach to help you launch virtually any career or calling. Our park-like suburban campus is home to top-notch athletic facilities, an award-winning academic library, and one of the region's finest performing arts centers.
'In the Middle of It All'
The mission of Roberts Wesleyan College stands on three pillars: academic excellence, spiritual formation, and service to God and the world at large. Pursuing these three complementary goals could take you to the farthest reaches of scholarly knowledge, the heights of heaven, and the ends of the earth. We say a Roberts education puts you "in the middle of it all." And we can't think of a better place to be.
As a student here, you'll be welcomed into a community of intelligent, service-minded Christians who will grow alongside you. Whether you're discussing a difficult concept with a professor, pouring your heart out to a new friend, studying in a foreign land, or volunteering your time with a nearby street ministry, you'll find Roberts people to be sensitive, supportive, concerned, and involved.
On Campus and Off
Roberts offers students a rich, engaging campus environment in which to learn and grow. But we also understand the definition of "student" is broadening and the needs of today's student are more complex. Interest in higher education also is extending beyond the recent high school graduate.
As a result, the College offers opportunities to study a wide range of undergraduate, graduate and adult/professional disciplines outside the traditional classroom and schedule - as well as outside the country. Along with selected online degree programs, Roberts has learning centers throughout Upstate New York. And we encourage students to study abroad and experience life in other nations via our extensive Global Studies Program.
The Right Choice for You?
What do you want from a college? If you're looking for a close-knit community at an institution that will challenge you academically and give you opportunities to serve wherever a need exists - all within an "intentionally Christian" context - Roberts just might be the place for you.
