About This School
Indiana Wesleyan University-Marion is a private nonprofit institution located in Marion, Indiana with approximately 1,974 undergraduate students enrolled. Indiana Wesleyan University-Marion has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 89%. The average net price after financial aid is $22,866 per year. The graduation rate is 67%, and the typical graduate earns $56,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
This is a solid option for students seeking a faith-integrated education in a small-campus setting, where relatively low median debt of $14,335 and post-graduation earnings of $56,200 suggest a reasonable return on investment. That said, the 66% graduation rate is a real concern — meaning roughly 1 in 3 students who start here don't finish — so it's worth asking the school directly what support systems are in place for at-risk students. Worth considering if the Christian liberal arts mission aligns with your values, but go in with eyes open about persistence rates.
