Academics
Studying online: a small share study entirely online
In Fall 2023, 20 of West Virginia Wesleyan College's 991 students (2%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 318 (32%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.
Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

Frequently asked questions
About West Virginia Wesleyan College
Built from CampusPin profile data. Always verify final admissions, cost, financial aid, and program details with the institution before applying. See our data methodology and data dictionary.
- Where is West Virginia Wesleyan College located?
- West Virginia Wesleyan College is located in Buckhannon, WV, in the United States.
- What type of institution is West Virginia Wesleyan College?
- West Virginia Wesleyan College is a private university based in WV. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.
- What is the acceptance rate at West Virginia Wesleyan College?
- The most recently reported acceptance rate at West Virginia Wesleyan College is approximately 93%. Acceptance rate signals selectivity but does not predict any individual applicant's outcome and is not a measure of school quality. CampusPin reports the federally-published value; verify the current cycle with the institution.
- What is the tuition at West Virginia Wesleyan College?
- West Virginia Wesleyan College's published in-state tuition is approximately $34,090 per year. This is the published price before financial aid; the net price most students actually pay is typically lower. Verify the current academic-year tuition with the institution before applying.
- How many students attend West Virginia Wesleyan College?
- West Virginia Wesleyan College reports total enrollment of approximately 962 students (undergraduate plus graduate). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
- How much does West Virginia Wesleyan College actually cost after financial aid?
- The average net price at West Virginia Wesleyan College is approximately $18,083 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. What families pay varies with income: students from families earning under $30,000 paid about $12,611 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $24,004. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.
- What is the graduation rate at West Virginia Wesleyan College?
- West Virginia Wesleyan College reports a graduation rate of approximately 57%. This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
- How much student debt do graduates of West Virginia Wesleyan College have?
- Students who borrowed at West Virginia Wesleyan College left with a median of approximately $27,000 in federal loans, and about 65% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
- How much do graduates of West Virginia Wesleyan College earn?
- Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $51,593 for students who received federal financial aid at West Virginia Wesleyan College. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
- How should I verify final details about West Virginia Wesleyan College?
- CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with West Virginia Wesleyan College.
