KWC out-performed all but one other school (Asbury University ranked #3) in the state, and enjoyed the highest ranking for schools in Western Kentucky. Rankings are based on numerous factors, including freshman retention and graduation rates, student/faculty ratio, alumni giving percentage, and percentage of classes at fewer than twenty students. 84 percent of classes at Wesleyan are comprised of fewer than twenty students, which ranks 16th in the country out of 363 regional schools profiled for the study.
