Roberts Wesleyan University is a private Christian university in Chili, New York, near Rochester, New York, United States. It was the first educational institution established for Free Methodists in North America. Roberts is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. In the fall of 2023, Roberts Wesleyan enrolled 1621 students in undergraduate, graduate, adult degree completion and doctoral programs.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 64% graduation rate means more than a third of students don't finish, and median earnings of $45,700 a decade out aren't exceptional for a private school price tag — though the $23,461 average net cost and relatively low $19,000 median debt help soften that concern. Worth considering if you're drawn to a small, faith-integrated community (Free Methodist roots, under 1,100 undergrads) in the Rochester area and want personal attention that larger schools won't offer. Go in with eyes open about graduation outcomes and ask hard questions about support services before committing.
