Wheaton College
508-286-8200
As Rev. Bernard C. Hinckley said, Norton is "not a college town, but a town with a college in it." Wheaton College students tend to be respectful of the town, and residents and businesses have said that those students are barely noticeable, except, of course, when they volunteer at certain organizations, such as the Pinecroft School and Children's Studio. Wheaton offers Bachelor of Arts degrees in more than forty majors and fifty minors.
