It was established in 1868 by Henry Wells, founder of the Wells Fargo and American Express Companies. The College is known as an exceptional value, pairing top quality academic programs with affordable tuition. The academic program allows students substantial freedom to create individually unique educational experiences. The College is currently strengthening its off-campus study programs, introducing new initiatives in its Book Arts Center, and expanding its athletics programs. A new strategic plan was recently endorsed by the college community, and Wells broke ground in March 2006 on a new 45,000 square foot science facility. The College’s lakeside location offers myriad recreational opportunities while recent economic development initiatives driven by a unique partnership between Wells and the Aurora Foundation has fostered business and tourism growth in the area.
