Kentucky Wesleyan College Announces Guaranteed Admission for Daviess and Hancock County Students for Fall 2026

Kentucky Wesleyan College is thrilled to announce a groundbreaking Guaranteed Admission initiative for qualified students from Daviess and Hancock counties in Kentucky, beginning with the fall 2026 enrollment cycle. This step reaffirms the College’s enduring commitment to serving its neighbors and opening new doors of opportunity for local students.

“This initiative reflects the Kentucky Wesleyan’s commitment to our community,” said Dr. James Cousins, president of Kentucky Wesleyan College. “It’s more than a promise, it’s a pathway to the same transformative educational experience the College has provided to generations of graduates from Daviess and Hancock counties.”

Students who meet academic eligibility requirements will be automatically granted admission, removing barriers and creating a clear, supportive transition from high school to college. Once on campus, students will experience the power of The Wesleyan Way—an educational philosophy grounded in honor, support, integrity and Christ-like love.

“Local alumni know for a fact that choosing Kentucky Wesleyan means choosing a College that’s close enough to home to stay grounded, yet far-reaching enough to launch you wherever you want to go,” notes Matthew Ruark ’09, assistant vice president of Enrollment Management.

With small class sizes, faculty who know your name, and a campus community that sees your talent, calls out your best, and opens doors across the country and around the world, Wesleyan students are prepared to lead with purpose.

Located in the heart of Owensboro, Kentucky Wesleyan offers 29 majors, 13 pre-professional programs, competitive NCAA Division II athletics, and a vibrant student life on a welcoming, close-knit campus. The College is nationally recognized for sending graduates on to top graduate programs and successful careers across the country.
