By offering small classes with Ph.D.-level faculty, Wilkes provides an environment where students can speak their minds and actively engage in the subject matter – this under the guidance of people passionately interested in their fields and your progress. For the average college student, 15 hours a week belong to the classroom. The other 153 belong to you. When you aren’t studying, Wilkes helps you make the most of your free time with lots of extracurricular options. Through varsity and intramural sports, concerts, dances and many more activities you can meet new friends, experience new things with old friends, develop leadership skills, and broaden your horizons.
