Wesley Theological Seminary Reviews

"The school is full of faculty who care and are deeply invested in developing the church and community's future leaders. They are knowledgeable, well prepared, and passionate about what they do. There is one caveat, the school's faculty promote liberal/progressive views while under representing conservative viewpoints. If you are liberal, you will love the school. If you are more conservative, be ready to do some soul searching."

"I attended Wesley Theological Seminary last year in order to visit my daughter who lived in the DC area. I am from rural Kansas, so was a bit apprehensive about attending an East Coast school in the middle of a sprawling metropolitan area. The professors, staff, and seasoned students are warm and embracing. The presentations of class material are above and beyond what I could have expected. The professors truly are impassioned about their discipline, and willingly share and spend extra time with the students to impart all of the knowledge they have on the subject matter. Access to the school is made quite easy by bus, car, or subway. The campus is beautiful, and the area is safe. The staff take care of placement in residents halls, hotels, or nearby rentals. Students, staff, and teachers immediately become close friends, and learning is easy. Wesley Theological Seminary is a great place to earn degrees or certification for service to the world. Just a note about the earning potential. If someone is looking to make a huge six or seven digit salary, perhaps becoming clergy is not the best course to follow; but the benefits of the position are innumerable. A loving, caring church family with potluck meals occurring frequently, plenty of zucchini during the summer, and enough laughter to alleviate all tension are a few of the fringe benefits. There is never a shortage of clergy positions, so placement is immediate. Wesley has such experienced professors, all clergy or former clergy, that the program gives real-life application to each class."
