Mission

The mission of Kansas Wesleyan University is to promote and integrate academic excellence, spiritual development, personal well being and social responsibility.

Kansas Wesleyan provides an educational program characterized by excellence, within a caring community, rooted in the liberal arts tradition. The call of the university is to develop both intellect and character, to stimulate creativity and a sense of discovery, and to nurture the whole person - body, mind and spirit. Diversity is embraced in curriculum, faculty and students.

Profile

At Kansas Wesleyan, we talk about The Power of AND. On some level, The Power of AND means that our students have opportunities to be involved in many things. At its core, however, The Power of AND is much more. It means that Kansas Wesleyan is a university AND a community, and it means we recognize the importance of our community, the city of Salina and the region of north-central Kansas.

Salina provides KWU students some 15,000 hours of internship, community service or job shadowing opportunities per year, and KWU has a 98% placement rate (during the past three years) within six months of graduation. Many, in fact, settle in Kansas after graduation.  

The university also has a program-specific, $5 million Nursing Education facility and boasts the only four-year Emergency Management degree in Kansas. In short, by giving to KWU, you’re not just giving to an academic program, or even to a whole university. You’re giving to those things AND so much more. You’re helping us build our community. You’re giving to a place where students can grow AND maintain independence. You’re giving to history AND to the future. Consider a gift in support of Kansas Wesleyan today!
