“The classes I’ve taken at Iowa Wesleyan have helped convince me that I am destined to be a Special Education teacher. Working as a Paraeducator for the past 7 years and my classes have given me the confidence to take this next step in my life’s journey and I couldn’t be more excited! Thank you IW!”

“The strengths of Iowa Wesleyan include the solid curriculum, amazing instructors and the humble culture and demeanor. They impacted my leadership opportunities by giving me confidence from all the respectful relationships I developed – with faculty, staff and other students. Iowa Wesleyan teaches to an individual’s strengths, and inspires for success. I graduated knowing I would be successful – they made me feel that way.”

“The instruction I received in Early Childhood fully prepared me to be successful in the classroom. The professors made the learning very engaging and relevant. I really look forward to having my own Early Childhood classroom and implementing everything that I have learned!”

“I went to a very small high school, so I didn’t want a large university. I didn’t want to sit in a large classroom and just blend in. At Iowa Wesleyan, all my teachers know me, and they know my goals. They are always there for me with the help and encouragement I need.”

“My coursework at Iowa Wesleyan provided me with the instructional strategies and classroom management skills that I need to be an effective teacher. The professors at IW are very knowledgeable and genuinely care about their students.”

“I was wanting a college where I would have many opportunities to grow, have quality but personal instruction, and be in a supportive community. I found that and then some at Wesleyan. Iowa Wesleyan has also given me the opportunity to become more confident in who I am as a person and as a musician. I definitely made the right choice in coming here.”
