Athletics

The Indiana Wesleyan University athletic program is an integral part of the institution’s total education program, subject to the same aims, policies, and objectives as other institutional programs. The four core values of the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics are Spiritual Growth, Academic Achievement, Leadership Development, and Athletic Excellence.

Our co-ed competitive cheer team is also a member of the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) and the Crossroads League. Our co-ed Esports team is a member of NACE (National Association of Collegiate Esports).

The physical education and intramural sports departments provide vital programs to the students as well. Lifetime sport participation is emphasized in the physical education instruction program, while the intramural sports program allows students to pursue leisure time needs and interests in an organized and competitive manner.
