Requirements for Admission:
The following must be submitted to be considered:

  • Application for admission – complete NWU's online app or the Common App

Recommendations for Admission:
In addition to the requirements for admission, Nebraska Wesleyan University recommends applicants take a rigorous college preparatory curriculum and supplement their application with evaluations and recommendations.

  • 4 years of mathematics,
  • 3 years of the same foreign language,
  • 3 years of laboratory science, and
  • 3 years of social studies.

Evaluations and recommendations from teachers an applicant had as a junior or senior are prioritized because they are most familiar with the student’s writing, analytical, and quantitative abilities. Participation in activities, honors, and awards as indicators of involvement are considered.
