Southern Wesleyan has been nothing short of a blessing for me. The small campus and intimate classroom feel made moving from home smooth and painless. SWU has allowed me to pursue all my wildest dreams. I got the opportunity to be part of the fantastic athletic department by playing soccer and I also have gotten to dive into the amazing music program by participating in the musicals and playing in our coffee shop. All of these activities have been amazing, but most importantly I have meet some amazing people who have helped me grow a much stronger relationship with God.

It's true—college may be one of the biggest expenses you encounter over the next few years. But it can be one of the best investments you'll ever make—and we'll help you every way we can. The value of a college degree still remains high through higher average lifetime earning potential and lower unemployment rates over those with just a high school diploma.
We will work with you to make your college investment as affordable as possible. Take advantage of a variety of institutional scholarships and grants, as well as grants and loans through federal and state assistance. Each student is given personal consideration to fit the financial aid package to the student’s need.
SWU alumni have lower student loan debt and higher average salaries than the national averages for college graduates, making an education at Southern Wesleyan an incredible investment in your future.
