- Virginia Wesleyan College is a small, four-year liberal arts college bordering Norfolk and Virginia
Beach. Our undergraduate program offers diverse majors, including criminal justice, liberal arts management, languages and
computer science. Wesleyan not only offers education inside the classroom, but also allows learning opportunities outside the
classroom through internships, fieldwork, community service and study abroad programs.
- A young college, Virginia Wesleyan was chartered in 1961 with support from the United Methodist
Church. In 1966, a small group of 75 pioneering students started at the new four-year, private college – the first of its
kind in South Hampton Roads.
- Virginia Wesleyan campus has grown rapidly in recent years with new and exciting facilities, including
high-tech classrooms, the one-of-a-kind Jane P. Batten Student Center and a variety of new programs. Virginia Wesleyan’s
300-acre campus is a refreshing oasis on the border of Virginia Beach and Norfolk.
