Enrollment & Aid

At Virginia Wesleyan University, we are proud to be Coastal Virginia’s premier university of the liberal arts and sciences. Our faculty are outstanding. Our classes are small. And regardless of major, students learn to think creatively, solve problems effectively, and communicate clearly—desirable skills sought by employers and graduate school admission committees.
