Wesleyan University Wesleyan University is a private liberal arts college founded in 1831 and located in Middletown, Connecticut. Founded by Methodist leaders and residents of Middletown, the now secular university was the first institution to be named after John Wesley, the Protestant theologian who was the founder of Methodism. There are about twenty other U.S. colleges and universities subsequently named after Wesley. Today, Wesleyan occupies a position in American higher education between the large research universities and the smaller liberal arts colleges. The University emphasizes instruction, but also supports and funds research in many academic disciplines. Wesleyan is one of the three small, elite New England liberal arts colleges that constitute the Little Three (the others are Amherst and Williams Colleges). Since inception of its college survey in 1983, U.S. News & World Report, in most years, has ranked Wesleyan as one of the top ten liberal arts colleges in the United States. In the Washington Monthly national rankings Wesleyan is currently ranked fourth among liberal arts colleges, third among co-educational liberal arts colleges. It is also ranked by both Barron's and Peterson's guides as in their highest category of "Most Competitive".
