Character. Scholarship. Leadership.
At Indiana Wesleyan University, students live and learn within a Christ-centered culture that is committed to disciple-making and influencing one another to become more like Jesus in every area of life. IWU is intentional about helping students discover their God-given individuality and life calling to grow in kindness, humility, belonging, integrity, and courage—the University's community values. IWU offers more than 80 undergraduate and 30+ graduate degrees that are nationally known for their curricular innovation, use of hands-on learning experiences, and student success rates.

IWU is known for developing students in character, scholarship, and leadership. Students run the school's coffee shop, McConn Coffee Co.; conduct, publish, and present original research at academic and professional conferences; and travel the globe for academic studies, mission work, and performances. Our Wildcat athletic teams have won 188 Crossroads League championships, 25 Crossroads League trophies, and 16 national championships as well as produced 441 NAIA All-American athletes.
The Division of Counseling is dedicated to training and mentoring high-quality professionals to competently work in their area of specialization with culturally diverse populations and an integrated understanding of the Christian faith in a professional practice.
The Division of Behavioral & Health Sciences equips students to serve others in every arena of life—through triumphs and struggles, in everyday relationships, in the workplace, and within their communities. Our students gain the skills needed to meet their personal and career goals through our online programs that combine theory with practical experience. Our diverse and accomplished faculty passionately lead students to excellence in their fields and model the humility necessary to put the needs of others before their own.
The Division of Nursing provides students with an integrated educational experience, combining evidence-based facts with hands-on learning to prepare them to change the world with Christ-like values.

At Indiana Wesleyan University, we believe everyone has a life calling. Discovering that calling is a journey. Let us travel with you through the process to provide resources, tools, and support. Your calling is more than your major or career—it's about who you are and what you can contribute to the world. All students are eligible for free life coaching by one of our trained and certified life coaches. Life Calling & Career serves as an academic home for students who enter the university without a major and are exploring their options. For many students, the Exploratory program is a wise choice for taking time to make an informed decision and avoid changing majors, which can be costly with time and money wasted. IUW provides a variety of Life Calling courses for students to further explore their purpose.
