Texas Wesleyan University

  United States

University Attributes: Texas Wesleyan University, founded in 1890 in Fort Worth, Texas, is a United Methodist institution with a tradition of integrating the liberal arts and sciences with professional and career preparation at the undergraduate level and in selected graduate areas. Believing that the primary goal of education is the development of students to their full potential as individuals and as members of the world community, the University strives to give students opportunities to grow intellectually and spiritually.  Texas Wesleyan is committed to the principles that each student deserves personal attention and that all members of the academic community must have the freedom to pursue independent thought and to exercise intellectual curiosity.  To this end, the University actively seeks and employs faculty with commitment and dedication to teaching and inspiring students and staff who provide a wide range of support services.  The University also accepts its responsibility to the community by providing leadership and talent through programs that improve society. With the advantages of a small student body, the University serves a diverse student population drawn primarily from the Fort Worth/Dallas metropolitan area but with a significant number from national and international sources.  Texas Wesleyan supports the variety of ages and the cultural, ethnic, and socio-economic backgrounds of our students. The purpose of the University is to create a learning environment where personal attention provides each student an opportunity to pursue individual excellence, to think clearly and creatively, to develop a spiritual sensitivity and commitment to moral discrimination and action, and to develop a sense of civic responsibility.  In its undergraduate programs, Texas Wesleyan fosters an appreciation of the role of arts, sciences, and humanities in the students' cultural development and prepares students to use their knowledge in productive careers.  Whether in its undergraduate, graduate, or professional programs, the University endeavors to produce individuals who become informed, responsible, creative, and articulate citizens.
