In 1873, less than eight years after all hostilities were quieted from the Civil War, the Freedman’s Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church founded Wiley College near Marshall, Texas to allow Negro youth the opportunity to pursue higher learning in the arts, sciences and other professions.
The College is currently organized into four degree-granting divisions: the Division of Sciences, the Division of Education, the Division of Business and Technology, the Division of Social Sciences and Humanities, and one service unit, the Division of General Education and Special Studies. The latter Division, although not degree-granting, is responsible for the College’s general education and developmental education programs, and provides initial support and advisement to newcomers and transfer students.
There is an unyielding conviction among the faculty and administration today that learning occurs best in an environment that is academically challenging and supportive, which embraces the principles of academic freedom and shared governance. Overall, Wiley College remains a viable force in the academic community. The institution continues to be a leader in innovation. It was the first “Thinkpad College” west of the Mississippi River. This initiative allowed all students to use a laptop in their daily classwork. This technologically advanced classroom allows students to become more proficient in using technology by obtaining class assignments, tests, and research projects via the Internet on a “24/7” basis. Each residence hall is equipped with Internet capabilities for students to perform extensive research from the comfort of their rooms.

The Wiley College spirit remains vibrant in the face of remarkable social change, global terrorism, economic strife, and adversity.

The insightful vision of years past that made Wiley College a preeminent black college in the south is alive and well—spearheading efforts to fulfill the academic mission of the College, managing the academic experience for students, and implementing academic policies and procedures related to faculty and students.
