The Wesleyan Wasch Center Seminars (Wasch Seminars) were chartered by Wesleyan in 2009 to provide non-credit educational opportunities to members of the broader community.

Using the talents of local experts and members of the Wesleyan faculty, the Wasch Seminars offer short, intellectually stimulating courses at a very reasonable cost. Topics are chosen for their likely interest and importance to Wesleyan's friends and neighbors. Small class sizes allow lively interactions between instructors and students and meeting times are conveniently scheduled for late afternoon and early evening hours. Most of the courses take place in person, with necessary COVID-19 precautions observed. Occasionally an entire course or a part of the course will be held on Zoom to give the participants access to an instructor who cannot travel to Middletown. Ample parking for on-campus classes is available.
