Why Wesleyan?
North Carolina Wesleyan University, founded in 1956, is a private co-educational liberal arts university, affiliated with the United Methodist Church. Wesleyan offers both undergraduate and graduate degree programs, and prepares students for professional advancement, lifelong learning and responsible participation in their communities. NCWU invites applications for admissions from students whose personal and academic record reveals intellectual ability and educational achievement.
The University considers applications under the rolling admissions system; therefore, applications are reviewed when all information has been received. Admission is granted to qualified applicants without regard to race, religion, color, sex, age, marital status, disability or national or ethnic origin. To promote the exchange of ideas and values, the University seeks a diverse student body, admitting students of different backgrounds, interests and talents.
We offer liberal arts, professional, and graduate degree programs for traditional, transfer, and working-adult students
