Overview

Allegheny Wesleyan College is a very small Bible college in Salem, Ohio, in the conservative Wesleyan-holiness tradition. It trains students for pastoral ministry, Christian education, and other forms of Christian service, with a curriculum built around biblical and theological study rather than a broad secular liberal-arts program.

Worth knowing

The college holds to conservative holiness-movement standards of conduct and doctrine, which shape both the curriculum and campus expectations more strictly than at a typical Christian college; it is best suited to students already committed to that specific theological tradition.
