Academic Programs That Make Texas Wesleyan a Standout Choice

For those planning to pursue a higher education, enrolling in a degree program is likely the first step you'll take on your career path — meaning you are probably most interested in exploring the best degrees for jobs in today's evolving economy. From a communication degree and computer science degree to our business degree programs, at Texas Wesleyan University, we're proud to offer a variety of high-demand majors.

Why Texas Wesleyan's Academic Programs Stand Out

At Texas Wesleyan, we are committed to delivering an exceptional academic experience to every student. Every degree program we offer includes a rigorous academic curriculum along with experiential learning opportunities, soft skills training and professional development experiences, such as co-ops and internships.

We offer many of the most popular college majors, yet our academic programs stand apart from others because of our:

Market-Aligned Majors and Certificates

Our goal is to position our students for professional success after graduation, which is why our degree programs emphasize workforce development. We intentionally offer market-aligned majors and certificate programs that enable students to build the practical, technical and soft skills relevant in the contemporary workforce. For example, our computer information certificate and computer science masters degree program both equip students with an advanced understanding of the latest technology as well as the best practices that anchor the information science field.

Small Classes and Faculty Mentorship

Providing students with an engaging and supportive learning environment is a priority, reflected in small class sizes within every degree program. With a favorable student-to-teacher ratio in place, our students can forge lasting connections with our expert faculty members.

Career Outcomes and Employer Demand

Designed with workforce development in mind, our skills-based degree programs help students hone the core competencies preferred by employers across industries. Through personalized academic advising and career services, we help our students achieve their desired career outcomes.

High-Demand Majors With Career Traction

Texas Wesleyan offers some of the best degrees for jobs in the 21st-century economy. These high-demand majors not only provide you with career traction; they also allow you to establish a solid foundation you can build upon throughout your lifetime.

Business and MBA Pathways

Our business degree programs intend to equip the modern business professional with the business acumen to navigate a fast-changing landscape, plus the data-driven insight needed to succeed in the modern economy. In both our online Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) and online Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs, you will explore the core principles of business while developing a leadership style that helps you grow your career.

Nursing and Advanced Practice Options

According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, there is heightened demand for registered nurses with a graduate degree. Our graduate nursing degree programs allow you to explore the most recent nursing research findings and learn how to implement those findings into clinical care settings. In addition, these graduate degree programs equip you with the advanced clinical skills required to pursue advanced practice registered nurse positions.

Cybersecurity and Computer Science

Despite uncertainty in other sectors of the economy, it's clear that there exists a significant demand for qualified cybersecurity and computer science professionals. Despite slow employment growth in other sectors, the World Economic Forum reports that the number of cybersecurity jobs continues to rise — making a computer information systems degree or computer science degree a worthwhile investment at this time.

Education and Leadership Tracks

The need for dynamic and intuitive leaders in education has never been greater. When it comes to earning your education degree online, the Master of Education online program allows experienced educators to develop the advanced skills needed to pursue leadership opportunities, such as administrative positions, curriculum design and development jobs and professional development coordinator roles.

Data Analytics and Emerging Tech

Across all sectors, data is driving growth and improving decision-making. By enrolling in a data analytics degree program, you can develop the advanced and transferable data science skills in demand within nearly every industry.

Innovative, Industry-Informed Curriculum

From our criminal justice degree program to our innovative psychology programs, each academic major at Texas Wesleyan features a rigorous, industry-informed curriculum that equips students with the most relevant and comprehensive skill set.

Project-Based Learning and Live Client Work

Through industry partnerships, we are able to offer our students project-based learning opportunities that involve live client work. These collaborative learning experiences help students learn to navigate professional landscapes while developing core competencies in real time.

Embedded Certifications and Tech Stacks

In some degree programs, students may pursue embedded certifications and tech stacks within the curriculum, allowing them to earn key credentials while simultaneously completing their required coursework.

Interdisciplinary Courses and Microcredentials

In addition to field-specific coursework, students have the opportunity to enroll in interdisciplinary courses that complement their degree program. These courses can lead to microcredentials or specialty areas, helping students set themselves apart in a crowded, competitive job market.

Internships, Co-Ops and Employer Pipelines

Internships and co-op opportunities are available in nearly every major at Texas Wesleyan, allowing students to experience various roles and tasks within their chosen career paths.

Partner Networks and Regional Opportunities

We have actively worked to develop industry partnerships within the Fort Worth region. Students enrolled in our degree programs may be eligible for internships at local employers, which can open up employment pipelines and lead to improved job placement outcomes.

For-Credit Internships and Practicum Models

In some cases, degree programs require students to complete internships or practicums for credit within their program. Embedding experiential learning into the curriculum, Texas Wesleyan promotes the development of the interdisciplinary skills key to success in the evolving job market.

Career Coaching, Mock Interviews and Portfolios

Beyond internships and co-ops, our academic advising and career services offices provide students with personalized career coaching. Through mock interviews, resume evaluations and portfolio reviews, students can prepare to successfully launch their job search after graduation.

Real-World Learning Beyond the Classroom

While it's undeniable that classroom learning is critical to academic success, we also believe that real-world learning requires students to move beyond the traditional classroom environment.

Labs, Studios and Simulation Environments

At our Fort Worth university campus, we have a variety of facilities that support skill development. Our labs, studios and simulation environments provide students across all degree programs with innovative spaces where they can brainstorm new ideas, test theories and build the skills needed for success.

Case Competitions and Capstone Projects

Case study competitions and capstone projects offer students an immersive, engaging experience in which they can blend their knowledge and newfound skills to showcase their accomplishments. Through these learning experiences, students are able to see how and where they can apply their knowledge in real-world settings.

Community-Engaged and Service Learning

For all students at Texas Wesleyan, service learning opportunities allow them to see firsthand how they can apply their education in a way that is valuable and beneficial to those around them. By illustrating the importance of giving back, students can begin to see the various ways they can use their skills for good.

Flexible Formats to Fit Your Life

Modern learners require flexibility and agility, and at Texas Wesleyan University, we have answered the call. We pride ourselves on offering flexible formats designed to complement your lifestyle, not overpower it.

On-Campus, Online and Hybrid Options
