International students are an integral part of the Wheaton community. Our Compass Curriculum challenges you to make interdisciplinary connections and share your unique perspectives. Additionally, the Center for Global Education provides ongoing support and guidance as you live, learn and grow at Wheaton.
Admission Process
Wheaton understands that some students engage the services of educational foundations, organizations and agents to assist in the U.S. college/university admission process. It is important for prospective students to know that Wheaton does not pay third parties to identify or recruit prospective students.
As a result, educational foundations, organizations and agents have no influence on Wheaton admission decisions. Wheaton makes all admission decisions independently. Members of the admission staff meet with students free of charge. Finally, we are always happy to answer your questions about applying to Wheaton, so you are never alone in the admission process.
Online Interviews
We offer online interviews for students who are unable to visit campus. These interviews are a great opportunity to learn more about life at Wheaton, tell us about yourself and to get your questions answered. Request an online interview and we will contact you to schedule an appointment.
Wheaton Refugee Scholarship
The Wheaton Refugee Scholarship is offered annually to one refugee applicant from a war-torn nation, who is either living overseas or who has legally entered the United States on refugee status, and would not have the financial means to attend Wheaton without a full scholarship. Applicants for this scholarship will only be considered for admission with this scholarship, and will not be considered for admission to Wheaton outside of this opportunity.
