Why Tennessee Wesleyan?

Our academic experience is grounded in a general education curriculum that encourages critical thinking, creative problem solving, written and verbal communication, interdisciplinary study, experiential learning and global awareness.

Campus and residential life is shaped by students who join dozens of clubs and organizations, play NAIA Division II sports, lead campus events, take active roles in the community and cherish the college's traditions.
