Asbury University is a private Christian university in Wilmore, Kentucky, United States. Although it is a non-denominational school, the college is aligned with the Wesleyan-Holiness movement and is a member of the Wesleyan Holiness Connection. The school offers 50-plus majors across 17 departments. In the fall of 2016, Asbury University had a total enrollment of 1,854: 1,640 traditional undergraduate students and 214 graduate students. The campus of Asbury Theological Seminary, which became a separate institution in 1922, is located across the street from Asbury University.
This is a strong option for students seeking a tight-knit Christian college experience rooted in Wesleyan-Holiness faith, with a manageable net price of $20,428/year and relatively low graduation debt of $17,500. The numbers tell a mixed story, though — a 65% graduation rate means roughly 1 in 3 students don't finish, and median earnings of $40,700 a decade out are modest, so career planning matters here. Worth considering if the faith community and small campus culture align with your values, but go in with clear goals for how your degree will translate to income.
