The Wellesley College is a US-based private college for women. Many famous people today studied there.

The college was founded in 1870 by Henry Fowle Durant and his wife Pauline. Today it is the aim of the college to “give an excellent education to women who will mean something in the world”.

The college, in Wellesley (about 27 km west of Boston ), offers a degree in the " Liberal Arts "; After four years of study, the female students receive a bachelor's degree. The college is one of the Seven Sisters ( seven sisters ; an amalgamation of American women's colleges) and has around 2,300 students. In the ranking of the US News & World Report magazine , the college regularly takes one of the top five positions among the "Liberal Arts" colleges in the United States and has always been rated as the best women's college in this category. The Wellesley Edition was published here from 1950 to 1973 .

The film Mona Lisa's Smile is set at Wellesley College and was partially shot there.
