Distance Education
Texas Wesleyan University is dedicated to cultivating critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and creative problem solving in its students to prepare them for careers, professional programs, and graduate schools. Texas Wesleyan University also strives to maintain undergraduate and graduate programs that are accessible to working adults. Distance education is central to these aspects of Texas Wesleyan's mission. In providing a high quality education to a diverse community of learners, we are also able to serve the higher education and professional needs of businesses, public schools, and the community and enable students to utilize current technologies for professional development.
