 WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN COLLEGE
CHENNAI

Women's Christian College situated on College Road, Nungambakkam, was founded in 1915 by
the combined effort of 12 Missionary Societies from Britain, Canada and the United States of
America with a mission to provide “a complete, meaningful and relevant education to women so
that they are intellectually well-trained, morally upright, socially aware and spiritually
inspired.”

An ‘A’ Grade College since 2005, WCC, affiliated to the University of Madras, has been
Autonomous for more than three decades. The College was awarded the prestigious status of
College with Potential for Excellence by the University Grants Commission in 2016, a fitting
testimony to the remarkable progress the College has made in the last 100 years. The College Motto
'Lighted to Lighten' and the College symbols – a lighted lamp and a sunflower, have inspired the
College community to serve society with commitment and dedication, even as WCC steps into the
second century.

The heritage Doveton House, historic academic blocks, six residential halls and the multi-facility
Library provide a vibrant teaching-learning experience. Home to more than a 100 species of trees,
both indigenous and exotic, the 20-acre green campus is a hotspot of rich bio-diversity providing an
ambience conducive to fostering holistic education. WCC offers a wide range of metacognitive and
need-based programs at the Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Research Levels to women from
diverse national and regional communities and varied socio-economic backgrounds. The College
designs its curriculum, administers examinations and evaluates its students efficiently. The Choice
Based Credit System (CBCS) provides students an array of courses to opt from, catering to their
diverse interests. The Degree is conferred by the University of Madras.
The American Transfer Program (ATP) with Concordia College, New York, USA, Britain Transfer
Program (BTP) with Middlesex University, London, UK & Canadian Transfer Program (CTP) with
Camosun College, British Columbia, Canada are International programs introduced in the last
decade. Candidates securing admission in WCC will be considered for transfer if they fulfill the
