Kentucky Wesleyan College, established in 1858, is located in Owensboro, Kentucky, along the Ohio River approximately 107 miles southwest of Louisville. The private Methodist-affiliated liberal arts institution occupies a 55-acre suburban campus characterized by modern classroom buildings and traditional red-brick residence halls. While the college maintains a comprehensive liberal arts curriculum, it is particularly known for its business administration, criminal justice, and education programs, along with its pre-professional tracks in health sciences. The campus provides traditional dormitory housing for students, with most first-year students required to live on campus. Kentucky Wesleyan competes in NCAA Division II athletics as the Panthers, participating in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference.
