Texas Wesleyan University is a private Methodist university in Fort Worth, Texas. It was founded in 1890 by the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The main campus is located in the Polytechnic Heights neighborhood of Fort Worth. Its mascot is the ram.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 32% graduation rate and 63% freshman retention rate suggest many students struggle to finish, which is worth taking seriously before enrolling. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively modest $13,992, and the net price of about $19,400/year is reasonable for a private university in a major metro area. Worth considering if you're drawn to a small, faith-affiliated campus in Fort Worth and have a clear plan to stay on track, but come in with eyes open about the completion challenges.
