Visit and See for Yourself
|
|
We invite you to visit the Indiana Wesleyan University residential
campus and see for yourself what others are talking about.
IWU has state-of-the-art education and athletic facilities,
modern and comfortable residence halls with the amenities
you would expect, and a beautiful campus with award-winning
architecture.

|
|
IWU Is One of the Fastest Growing Universities in the U.S.
|
|
In the last 20 years IWU has more than doubled in enrollment,
now exceeding the 2,900 mark on campus. IWU is the largest
university in the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities
(CCCU), which has more than 100 member colleges throughout
the U.S. IWU is also the second largest private college in
Indiana--surpassed in size by only Notre Dame.

A Great Value
|
A brand new campus with outstanding academic, performing arts,
wellness and recreation, residence life, and dining facilities
with strong academic programs being taught by a dedicated
group of faculty could lead you to believe that an IWU could
be out of your price range. But a close look at surveys of
Indiana private colleges and Christian colleges in the CCCU
reveal that IWU is moderately priced and a great value. Among
Indiana private colleges, only one other private college charges
less tuition than IWU. Among U.S. Christian colleges and universities
in the CCCU, IWU ranks in the 43rd percentile in cost. In
other words, IWU’s tuition cost is in the lower half
compared to other Christian colleges. Our administration,
faculty, and Board of Trustees are committed to offering you
a tremendous value for your tuition and room and board fees.

Outstanding
Campus Facilities
|
|
Since 1990, IWU has spent more than $200 million on new major
campus buildings. National and state architectural awards have
been received for the Phillippe Performing Arts Center and the
Wellness and Recreation Center, respectively.

|
Room and Board Freeze
|
|
It is common for colleges and universities
to annually increase room and board fees anywhere from 6 to
9 percent. Not so at IWU. We will freeze the rate you paid your
first year so that you keep paying that same amount all four
years. This Room and Board Freeze can produce savings of $800
to $1,000 during your stay at IWU. To maintain this cost savings
measure there are a few things you’ll have to do.
|
|
|
Room and board will be frozen at entry level through the student's
years at Indiana Wesleyan University, including the graduate
level, providing:
- Students eligible for the room and board freeze complete the freeze application and return it to the Business Office to receive the freeze discount.
- The student remains full-time each semester of each subsequent year.
- The student abides by available payment methods. Late payment of the school bill will be cause for forfeiture of this benefit.
- The student elects the full meal plan each semester and lives on campus consecutive semesters.

No
Technology Fees
|
|
You’ll find that IWU doesn’t charge for technology
fees. While IWU has a “wired campus” with state-of-the-art
classrooms, computer labs, residence hall computer labs, online
courses, “smart classrooms,” video conferencing,
and much more it doesn’t charge exorbitant technology
fees each year. In fact, at new student orientation, our University
Information Technology personnel will help you hook up your
computer to our Internet service “free of charge.”

Center for Life Calling and Leadership
Is Unique Among Colleges and Universities
|
|
The Center for Life Calling and Leadership is an innovative
resource available to IWU students. Counseling, testing, and
mentoring help students identify the right professional career
and give meaning, direction, and satisfaction to their individual
lives. A unique feature at IWU is the Leadership Major available
to all students. Combining the Leadership Major with another
discipline prepares students for servant-leadership in their
respective professional fields.

|
|
If you decide to file for financial aid, a financial aid counselor
will be assigned to assist you during your time at IWU. Your
financial aid counselor will listen to your needs and help you

Guests visiting the IWU community often comment about the awesome
presence of God on our campus. You will find a strong commitment
to a Christ-centered academic community among the students,
faculty, and administration. Some of the campus initiatives
designed to assist students with spiritual formation are chapel,
the freshmen “World Changer Experience” course,
Old Testament and New Testament Survey Bible courses, dedicated
faculty, numerous local, U.S., and international short-term
mission trips, residence hall Bible studies, and a student mentoring

New Student Survey
and “Campus Life” magazine Survey Results
|
|
The incoming freshman class is surveyed each year. For seven
straight years, this survey has revealed that spiritual atmosphere
is the number-one reason students choose IWU. The other reasons
students choose IWU are: 2) Academic Excellence, 3) Nintey-two
percent of IWU students receive financial aid, 4) Faculty Reputation,
and 5) Outstanding Campus Facilities.
|
|
|
|
Campus Life magazine in its biannual survey of 1,000 high school
students learned that prospective high school students overwhelmingly
ranked IWU number one in spiritual atmosphere out of 345 colleges
and universities.
