Nebraska Wesleyan University (NWU)

Nebraska Wesleyan University is an academic community dedicated to intellectual and personal growth within the context of a liberal arts education and in an environment of Christian concern.

Nebraska Wesleyan was founded by Nebraska Methodists and actively maintains its relation to the United Methodist Church. The University reflects the Judeo-Christian tradition in its efforts to integrate questions about meaning and value with the pursuit of learning and understanding. The University is committed to excellence of academic endeavor and to learning as a lifelong process. The curricula and programs are designed to assist students in gaining and expanding knowledge and skills, in developing their competence in rational thought and communication, in broadening their perspectives on humanity and culture, and in enhancing their spiritual, physical, emotional and aesthetic resources. Nebraska Wesleyan intends that its students develop a sense of individual worth and become useful and serving members of the human community.

Nebraska Wesleyan provides honors-quality education to every student, as evidenced by national recognition for our academic programs, exceptional opportunities for student involvement and the remarkable success of our graduates.

While Nebraska Wesleyan offers a broad-based curriculum—49 majors, 18 departments, 14 preprofessional programs and two Master's-level programs—the University also nurtures its liberal arts tradition. Wesleyan boasts a 14:1 student-to-faculty ratio as well as unique learning opportunities, such as the Liberal Arts Seminar for first year students and service learning experiences both in and out of the classroom.
