Kentucky Wesleyan College is a leader in liberal arts and professional education with a long-standing reputation for quality and academic excellence. Currently serving approximately 850 students, Wesleyan provides a challenging and supportive academic experience in conjunction with a competitive and successful athletics program.

A United Methodist-related college founded in 1858, Wesleyan students can choose from 29 majors and 13 pre-professional programs. Faculty members mentor and encourage their students in a close-knit campus community. Classes have a 13-to-1 student-faculty ratio, and 88 percent of the faculty have a Ph.D. or terminal degree. 

The Kentucky Wesleyan Panthers compete in NCAA Division II and are members of the Great Midwest Athletic Conference. Intercollegiate men’s teams include baseball, basketball, bowling, cross country, football, golf, track and field, and wrestling. Women compete in basketball, bowling, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis track and field, and volleyball.

 Kentucky Wesleyan College is located in the hospitable city of Owensboro. Owensboro is small enough to promote a hometown atmosphere, yet large enough to support many amenities usually available in much larger cities. With more than 20 annual celebrations, including the International Bar-B-Q Festival, Owensboro is known as Kentucky's Festival City.  Wesleyan is just 40 minutes east of Evansville, Indiana, 2 hours north of Nashville, Tennessee, 2 hours west of Louisville, Kentucky, and 4 hours east of St. Louis, Missouri. Daviess County is home to 94,000 residents.
