About This School

Indiana Wesleyan University-National & Global is a private nonprofit institution located in Marion, Indiana with approximately 6,656 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $16,898 per year. The graduation rate is 35%, and the typical graduate earns $56,200 within 10 years of enrollment.

This school is best suited for working adults and non-traditional students who need flexible, faith-based education they can fit around a job and family — not for a recent high school graduate looking for a traditional campus experience. The Christian mission is central here, so families who value that alignment will find it meaningful rather than incidental. The finances are reasonable on the surface — median debt of $24,250 and median earnings of $56,200 ten years out suggest graduates aren't drowning — but the 35% graduation rate is a serious red flag that deserves a real conversation before you commit. That number tells me a lot of students start here and don't finish, which can mean the format doesn't work for everyone, life gets in the way, or both. My honest advice: if you're a motivated adult learner with a clear career goal and a strong faith motivation, this could be a practical fit — but ask the admissions office directly what support systems exist to help students finish, because the data suggests many don't.
