Robert Welch University was founded to provide “a place where responsible young men and women could go to receive a fundamental education in the accumulated knowledge of history, science, literature, and languages, which we, heirs of all ages, have inherited.”
As a major step toward that objective, in 2005 RWU launched an online two-year associate’s degree program certified by the State of Wisconsin. That successful program is now on hold while support and curricula are developed for a full four-year degree program in Americanist studies with special emphasis on the classics. RWU has and continues to support other educational programs, seminars, and research.
Robert Welch understood that the best way to see into the future was to understand how we arrived at where we are today. In order to accomplish this he envisioned a traditional Liberal Arts college where young men and women would be educated in the same classical tradition as America’s founders.
