Excelsia College (formerly Wesley Institute) is a tertiary education provider in Sydney, Australia offering undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in counselling, performing arts (drama and music), teacher education and business.

History

Wesley Institute for Ministry & the Arts was set up by Wesley Mission, Sydney in 1989 as a Christian Institute to train students for both ministry and the creative arts.[1] It operated from a campus at Drummoyne, New South Wales, previously the site of the Drummoyne Boys' High School. In 2016, it relocated to Macquarie Park, New South Wales.[2]

Government accreditation was granted in 1992.

On 4 October 2013, the Board of Trustees for Indiana Wesleyan University voted to acquire Wesley Institute, to create the IWU's first international campus.[3] In early 2015 Wesley Institute changed its name to Excelsia College.

gollark: There's Tinkegration, which adds a few somewhat reasonable modifiers, and PlusTIC, which adds lots of material support, somewhat weirdly and nonsensically, and also laser guns for some reason?

gollark: Before they made it so that toolcrafting actually involved tradeoffs.
