School Description

Provided by Tennessee Wesleyan College

In keeping with the spirit of the liberal arts, Tennessee Wesleyan College seeks within the framework of the Judeo-Christian tradition to provide for students the highest quality educational experience, to promote personal responsibility, integrity, and purpose, and to prepare students for a life of leadership and service in an ever changing global community.

Tennessee Wesleyan takes pride in its role as a small church-related college affiliated with the United Methodist Church and accepts the challenge of advancing a community of learning on the main campus in Athens and at its off-campus sites. The College serves a heterogeneous student body comprising traditional and non-traditional students, non-degree-seeking adult learners, and international students. Highly-qualified faculty and staff are committed to assisting students in the realization of their full potential by providing appropriate career, preprofessional, and professional education and/or requisite preparation for continued study in graduate school. The College offers baccalaureate programs in fine arts, humanities, natural and social sciences as well as business, nursing, other career-related areas, and teacher certification. The curriculum is designed to prepare graduates to be knowledgeable, to think critically and creatively, and to develop a basis for effective judgment. In order that they may take their places among those who lead and serve, graduates are expected to be able to:

* use effectively the communication skills of reading, writing, speaking, and listening
* be knowledgeable of religious beliefs and issues, the religious positions of others, and the choices with which religion confronts them
* recognize the issues that affect social and political behavior in their historical and cultural perspective
* demonstrate mathematical and basic computer skills, and discover the impact of science and technology
* appreciate the contributions of the arts and literature to life enrichment
* choose physical activities which will enhance wellness.
