Wesley Theological Seminary scores 780 — these providers rank higher on Verdica's composite trust score.
The Verdica score is a composite trust score from 300 to 850, computed from accreditation status, Title IV outcomes, and IPEDS data maintained by accreditors and the Department of Education. A score of 780 places Wesley Theological Seminary in DC in the strong (740–799) band. The score reflects publicly available regulator data — it is not a rating from Verdica itself and does not incorporate paid reviews or advertising.
Verdica combines three weighted sub-scores drawn from accreditors and the Department of Education. Each sub-score reflects a different dimension of education compliance — accreditation standing, graduation and default rates, and financial responsibility — and is normalized against industry peers before being aggregated to the 300–850 scale.
Verdica pulls public records from accreditors and the Department of Education: accreditation status, Title IV outcomes, and IPEDS data. Data is refreshed on rolling cycles, typically weekly to monthly depending on the source agency's own update schedule. See the "source data current" indicator on the entity page for the last successful refresh.

A loving and open community and campus for people with different denominational/faith and career backgrounds. The professors are a stand out with classes that make theology applicable to your ministry context and it is clear they care about the students call. I was a student back in 2017 and appreciated how the student body is made up of students of all different ages, traditions, nationality, and ministry focus. You are able to grow not from the classes but by sharing a coffee and conversation with the students and staff.

Wesley's ecumenical, thoughtful, expansive community has been such a gift for my graduate theological education. Scholarship and compassion merge beautifully at Wesley!
A quiet little campus with a student body that's really involved, diverse (culturally and denominationally), and community-minded. I attended an open house there, and they were kind and inviting and answered my questions thoroughly. The tour of Wesley was also really nice, and I enjoyed the historical and contextual facts the guides provided.
I would avoid this place at all cause, in 2021 I was told I was good to go and now in 2024 I am being charged. Plus the professors put too much pressure for your opinion instead of figuring out what Scripture means.
Reflecting back on how I and many of my peers obtained degrees from Wesley, yet were unprepared for the gauntlet that is the United Methodist Ordination process in a denomination that is rapidly shrinking and heading toward further institutional chaos, I would not recommend this school for anyone seeking vocation in the UMC. I learned a lot. I met a lot of great people. It just wasn't applicable to anything in the church world or the real world upon leaving vocational ministry.
Wonderful seminary!
