What’s a good (cheap) first date that I can take my crush on? As you’ve probably gathered on your own (based on your parenthetical aside), good and cheap are not mutually exclusive. While I could be glib and recommend a romantic weeknight dinner at Chase on the Water, reader, I want to help you out. […]
Each year, the Center of Global Education holds a Study Abroad Fair to showcase more than 70 study abroad programs that Wheaton and its partner programs have to offer. On Sept. 18, in the Balfour Hood Center, prospective study abroad students had the opportunity to speak with Wheaton-affiliated program representatives and also with peers who […]
A busy week. Nearly too busy. The Class of 2016, adjusting to their new roles as seniors, have been hit like a sledgehammer. Classes are harder than ever, and theses are being written at scratched wooden desks in dark corners of the library, at all hours of the night. Ironically, the year in which the […]
The recent passing of a beloved Wheaton figure has called to light many rumors that have been circulating the campus for years. Have there been multiple cow-ducks? If so, have the deceased cow-ducks been placed in the Science Center? Is there a farm nearby that sells cow-ducks in stock? How long do cow-ducks live, anyway? […]

There are many people who say they don’t want to be taught by students, no matter how educated the students are. When it comes to classes taught by instructors from the Brown/Wheaton Faculty Fellows Program, there should be no complaining.

During Admissions Events, one of the topics that always arises is Wheaton’s array of more than 40 majors and 50 minors. Among those is the option to have an Independent major, in which students work with various faculty members in order to structure a major that combines courses from two or more departments.
