Nebraska Wesleyan University

Nebraska Wesleyan was founded by Nebraska Methodists and actively maintains its relation to The United Methodist Church. The University reflects the Judeo Christian tradition in its efforts to integrate questions about meaning and value with the pursuit of learning and understanding.

The University is committed to excellence of academic endeavor and to learning as a lifelong process. The curricula and programs are designed to assist students in gaining and expanding knowledge and skills, in developing their competence in rational thought and communication, in broadening their perspectives on humanity and culture, and in enhancing their spiritual, physical, emotional, and aesthetic resources.

Nebraska Wesleyan intends that its students develop a sense of individual worth and become useful and serving members of the human community.

Living On Campus

Nebraska Wesleyan’s campus includes a variety of residential facilities designed to actively engage you in the life of the campus, broaden your life experiences, and enhance your interaction with other students.

First year residential living

Living on campus is a significant learning experience in a residential liberal arts college. Students who live on campus are often better connected to the University because of the community that is created and developed by the students on their floor, pod or building. Residential students learn critical life skills from living with others. To assist in building a community, professional educators and Peer Assistants staff all first year buildings in addition to the Heim/White Suites. Through programs, service opportunities and informational resources, they also teach skills that help residents learn to live and study together in the halls. Their role is to assist each resident in becoming more assertive, understanding of diverse perspectives, lifestyles and experiences, learning how to resolve conflicts in a civil manner, developing individual identity as a person of worth, developing healthy relationships, and becoming a citizen leader.

Typically, first year students live in the traditional halls and returning students live in the suite-style facilities and townhouses.
