Biographical / Historical
Wellesley College established the Continuing Education Program in 1971, and in 1991 renamed the program the Davis Degree Program (and its participants Davis Scholars) in honor of Elisabeth Kaiser Davis, Class of 1932. This program supports students who are undergraduates at a non-traditional age, and supports a flexible schedule (full time or part time). Davis Scholars take the same classes as the rest of the undergraduate student body and meet the same academic degree requirements. There is a dedicated social space for Davis Scholars at the Continuing Education House on Tupelo Lane, and two dedicated residence halls: Cedar Lodge for year-round housing and Homestead for 9 month housing.
