"We want every student who dreams of an educational experience that is Christ-centered and biblically grounded- to be able to afford to attend Indiana Wesleyan University- and we are committed to seeing that dream become a reality."
- Dr. Jon S. Kulaga, President of Indiana Wesleyan University
Discover Your Potential
A college degree can be the key to reaching your future career and life goals. However, not everyone can put their life on pause to attend a traditional onsite 4-year university. At Indiana Wesleyan University, you will have the opportunity to receive an affordable online college degree at an accredited college through IWU's online undergraduate and graduate programs.
Choose Your Own Path
As a result of the new Digital Age, online programs have gained popularity. However, IWU is not new to the world of online education degrees, and we are proud to boast 20+ years of experience in offering flexible online degree programs to our students. At Indiana Wesleyan University, we understand that every student’s needs are different. By offering 160+ online degrees, we give our students the flexibility they deserve when pursuing their education.
While participating in an online degree program, students will not have to sacrifice other important aspects of their lives like time with family. Our online programs allow students to work at their own paces with no ties or commitments to class meeting times. Online students typically take one class at a time with online courses that are typically 5-8 weeks long, allowing them to immediately apply their studies to their current jobs or career paths.
Tailor Your Education
As an online IWU student, you will have multiple options for affordable graduate and undergraduate degrees. Whether you want a degree in business administration or early childhood education, our goal is to give online learners the tools they need to achieve their dreams.

Get More for Less
Ranking in the top 15 for America's Top Online Colleges and Top Online Learning Providers for 2023, Indiana Wesleyan University is proud to provide both in person and online students with a quality and accessible education. As a member of the Council of Christian Colleges and University, IWU is not only less expensive, but its rates and fees are growing at a slower rate than other private colleges. IWU's tuition is $1,864 less per year than the average 2022-2023 tuition of the CCCU member institutions in the Midwest. IWU offers the most aid to families with incomes of less than $30,000 of all CCCU schools in Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio.
However, being one of the most affordable online colleges does not take away from the quality of education students receive. 10 years after enrolling, the average income of former Indiana Wesleyan University students who are working and no longer in school is 58% higher than the national median. With a 97% career outcomes rate, Indiana Wesleyan University focuses on producing students who are not just great employees, but great people as well.
