University Overview

Texas Wesleyan University, founded in 1890 in Fort Worth, Texas, began as Polytechnic College. Initially a women's college, it became coeducational in 1934 after merging with Texas Wesleyan Academy. The university expanded its programs in the 1970s and 1980s, offering graduate degrees in education and nurse anesthesia.

Texas Wesleyan University reaffirmed its commitment to its historic location by building the Eunice and James L. West Library in 1988. The institution was renamed in 1989, launched a flexible program for adult learners in 1994, and established a downtown Fort Worth campus in 1997. The School of Law was sold to Texas A&M in 2013. In 2015, the Rosedale Renaissance project revitalized the campus and neighborhood. Dr. Emily W. Messer became the first female University President in 2023.
