Academic Units:

On July 1, 2009, Indiana Wesleyan University instituted a new structure built around the following academic units:

The College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) serves primarily undergraduate residential and commuter students on the main Marion campus. CAS is comprised of five schools, which offer more than 70 majors in a traditional semester format. CAS also houses the John Wesley Honors College, the School of Life Foundations, the Graduate Counseling Program, and the Center for Addictions Counseling. Approximately 3,200 students are enrolled. http://cas.indwes.edu

The College of Adult and Professional Studies (CAPS) offers convenient adult-focused undergraduate and graduate programs at regional education centers throughout Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio, and online. Courses in the chosen program are followed in sequence with the same group of students and are delivered in intensive block, rather than semester format. Students augment their cohort experience with elective courses. CAPS houses the university's only doctoral program, the Ed.D. with a major in Organizational Leadership. CAPS enrolls approximately 10,000 students. http://caps.indwes.edu

The School of Nursing (SON) contains the divisions of Pre-licensure programs, Post-licensure programs, and Graduate Studies. The School of Nursing includes associate's-, bachelor's-, and master's-level students. All three delivery systems (traditional, adult on-site, and online) are utilized in The School of Nursing which currently enrolls approximately 1,950 students. http://indwes.edu/nursing

In April 2009, the IWU Board of Trustees approved the development of a Seminary. The Seminary offers the Master of Arts in Ministry and Master of Divinity degrees. Approximately 180 students are enrolled in the Master of Arts program. The first class of Master of Divinity students begins coursework in August 2009.

The Graduate School provides oversight of qualifications for graduate faculty, standards for curriculum development and policies that govern graduate studies in Counseling, Business, Leadership, Nursing, Education and Ministry. http://graduate.indwes.edu
