Wesleyan University is a private liberal arts university in Middletown, Connecticut, United States. It was founded in 1831 as a men's college under the Methodist Episcopal Church and, with the support of prominent residents of Middletown, became a secular, coeducational institution. It is a primarily undergraduate institution with a small graduate program and offers 47 majors as part of an open curriculum. It accepted female applicants from 1872 to 1909 but did not become fully coeducational until 1970, and, with Amherst and Williams colleges, it is part of The Little Three.
