Education for Global Citizenship
Dakota Wesleyan University began its purposeful drive to globalize its reach with the establishment of its first international office in Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria, in October, 2019. DWU Nairobi was subsequently established in December, 2019.
Think. Learn. Question.
At Dakota Wesleyan University we think, ask the big questions, and develop ideas. Who you are, how you got here, and what you are studying do not matter; what is important is that you made the decision to join a community where you are encouraged to express your thoughts, and discover your strengths, in a safe, nurturing and supportive environment.

The Boundaries of South Dakota, and the Globe as the Boundaries of DWU.
South Dakota is at once our home, our laboratory, our playground, and a place that offers itself for discovery of known and unknown possibilities. Our global community offers the same opportunity to students and scholars.
