Additional Information

Regularly ranked as one of America’s best value private colleges, Wesleyan’s tuition is one of the most affordable in the Southeast. 99% of our undergraduate students receive financial aid. Plus, there is no tuition increase for out-of-state students. Our average financial aid award, including scholarships, grants, and loans, makes the cost of attendance lower than many public schools. Students may be eligible for merit, leadership, and fine arts awards based on their GPA, test scores, and auditions or art portfolio presentations. This commitment to creating financial access for students has enabled Wesleyan to attract an extremely talented and diverse student body. Most traditional undergraduate students live on campus, which is one of the primary benefits of the distinctive Wesleyan experience. Residence hall living provides a healthy environment for you to grow socially and intellectually. As members of the USA South Athletic Conference, Wesleyan is home to six NCAA Division III sports: basketball, cross country, soccer, softball, track, and volleyball. Wesleyan Wolves regularly win All-Conference and All-Academic honors. Plus, our award-winning equestrian team competes in the IHSA in both hunt seat and western. Students may board their horses at our updated stables located right on campus just a short walk from residence halls. Wesleyan also has a club Cheerleading/Dance team.

“It’s about the importance of young women’s growth and development in a supportive environment that nurtures and gives freedom of expression without some of the restraints inherent in two-sex interactions.”
