Wesleyan University, founded in 1831, is a private, elite[1] liberal arts university in Middletown, Connecticut. Founded by Methodist leaders and residents of Middletown, the now-secular university was the first college or university to be named after John Wesley, the founder of Methodism. Wesleyan shares a common Methodist heritage with about twenty other U.S. colleges and universities also named after Wesley.

Today, Wesleyan occupies a position in American higher education between the major research universities and the leading liberal arts colleges, emphasizing instruction and mentoring, but also supporting a rigorous research agenda throughout all academic disciplines. Wesleyan is one of the three small New England colleges that constitute the "Little Three" (or the "Little Ivies"): the others are Amherst and Williams Colleges.
