Dakota Wesleyan University was founded in 1885 in Mitchell, S.D., as a four-year liberal arts college. In 2009, DWU adopted a three-college system: the College of Arts and Humanities, the College of Healthcare, Fitness and Sciences, and the College of Leadership and Public Service. We have so many amazing majors to choose from – check them out on our Admissions page and for an overview of what our university has to offer, visit our homepage at www.dwu.edu or check out our Fast Facts page. We just celebrated our 125 anniversary with a Blue & White Bash at the World’s Only Corn Palace with the Village People performing! Jeff Olson, the “Cowboy” is a 1975 DWU alumnus!
This site was created as a secondary news posting – we hope this serves as just another helpful tool for the public to see what’s going on at DWU and how to become a part of it! Many of our events, public speakers and concerts are free and open to the public – so stay tuned!
