Tennessee Wesleyan's Mission
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.
