Roberts Wesleyan College is a private, Christian college that transforms students into business leaders through the School of Business. The SoB distinguishes itself with IACBE accreditation. Robert Wesleyan has served scholars since 1866. Cox Hall, which houses all of the business programs, was established in 1893. RSC promotes a family-like atmosphere with a small 11:1 student-to-faculty ratio. U.S. News and World Report’s 2020 rankings list RWC as a Best Value School and the top Regional Universities North. Additionally, the Princeton Review named RWC a Best Northeastern College for 2020.
Roberts helps make college affordable, with 98% of students receiving financial aid. Roberts offers a unique Scholarship Weekend where students compete for three full-tuition scholarships. Students are invited based on a portfolio consisting of an essay, SAT/ACT scores, and high school transcript. Students will additionally be judged on a group project and interview component during the weekend.
