Founded in 1888, Wheelock College is a private liberal arts college located in Boston, MA, providing education with a focus on education and child life, social work, family studies, and the arts and sciences.

The school issues bachelor's degrees, master's degrees, and certificates in full-time, part-time, and online classes. The school offers professional majors such as elementary education, social work, and special education, as well as arts and science majors. There are a variety of graduate degree programs available for students seeking to enhance or change their careers.

The hallmarks of a Wheelock undergraduate education are a solid foundation in the liberal arts and sciences, strong professional preparation, and a flexible, interdisciplinary approach. Students are encouraged to tailor their education to their own interests and goals by combining arts and sciences majors, professional majors, and minors.

Field experience is an important part of a Wheelock education. Undergraduate students are immediately exposed to professional practice in the field beginning in their freshman year as part of their Human Growth and Development course. Students in their junior and senior years who are enrolled in professional programs also complete more intensive field experiences co-supervised by professionals and faculty members. Similarly, graduate students enter the field early in their programs.

The college is located in the Fenway area of Boston. It is within walking distance of many city attractions, shopping, and entertainment, as well as public transportation.
