Mission Statement An inclusive community dedicated to scholarship and service grounded in the liberal arts and sciences, Virginia Wesleyan University inspires students to build meaningful lives through engagement in Coastal Virginia's dynamic metropolitan region, the nation, and the world. Accreditation Virginia Wesleyan University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award bachelors’ and masters’ degrees through both on-campus and online courses. Normal inquiries about the institution, such as admission requirements, financial aid, and educational programs should be addressed directly to Virginia Wesleyan University. Contact the Commission on Colleges at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097 or call 404-679-4500 for questions about the accreditation of Virginia Wesleyan University. The Setting Virginia Wesleyan has often been defined by its desirable and unique location in Coastal Virginia. Located in Virginia Beach, the University is just minutes from the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay, on a beautiful 300-acre parklike campus. The area is home to a host of business, governmental, and cultural institutions, as well as rich historical and natural resources that offer tremendous opportunities for students. The University’s setting complements its dual commitment to the development of the intellect and to involvement in society. Nestled on a 300-acre campus in the heart of one of Virginia’s largest metropolitan areas, Virginia Wesleyan is physically insulated from the bustle of the city traffic, and yet the vast resources of its surrounding urban area are easily accessible. Regardless of their major(s), students are only a few minutes away from a living laboratory. The University offers many opportunities for students to bring the theoretical and the practical together in this rich environment. Proud of Our Past, Focused on Our Future Virginia Wesleyan College received full accreditation in its first year of eligibility, enjoyed steady enrollment gains, and attained membership in the selective Virginia Foundation for Independent Colleges. The College held its first commencement in May 1970, graduating 41 pioneering students. Since then, the University has grown to over 1,600 students and 10,000 living alumni. Rooted in the liberal arts tradition as well as its Methodist heritage, Virginia Wesleyan provides a broad academic foundation while cultivating productive and engaged citizens. Funded by The Teagle Foundation, the University developed a unique enhanced four credit hour curricular model, implemented in 2011, that prepares students by providing them with expanded opportunities to learn by doing, to connect theory to practice, and to link the classroom to the world. During the 2016-17 academic year, the College transitioned to University and was reorganized to
