A private college founded in 1866, Roberts Wesleyan College has come a long way since its beginnings as a small seminary institute that boasted a graduating class of 56 students. Today, Roberts Wesleyan is home to around seventeen hundred students.

With online degrees in business, nursing, teacher education, and health administration, Roberts Wesleyan provides a practical solution for young professionals who may not have time to attend classes in person. This wide range of classes offered makes Roberts Wesleyan one of the best online colleges in New York, and the small, private education style of Roberts Wesleyan allows for a personal learning style that gives students all the support they need to thrive in their academic pursuits!

Most of the online courses offered at Roberts Wesleyan follow the cohort model of education. They are based around interaction between classmates, instead of just lectures from the professor or readings in the textbook. This alleviates the impersonal nature that comes with a lot of online learning environments, and allows students to still feel connected!
