Wesley Seminary is a proposed Evangelical Christian theological seminary affiliated with the Wesleyan Church denomination that would also be associated with Indiana Wesleyan University and located on its campus in Marion, Indiana. In 2008, IWU administrators and the Board of Trustees endorsed the concept of the seminary and have already set aside funding for it. The seminary is currently under consideration to be accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and is expected to be launched in the fall of 2010, pending accreditation approval.

Wesley would be the first affiliated seminary in the history of the Wesleyan Church, which is one of the only Evangelical denominations that does not currently require pastors to hold a seminary degree for ordination. The seminary would eventually have its own building and housing for students on campus and offer the Master of Divinity degree, along with other advanced graduate degrees. [http://www.indwes.edu]
