IWU Opens New Texas Campus Offering Graduate Tech Programs

Indiana Wesleyan University (IWU) has officially announced the opening of a new campus in Forney, Texas, located at 680 Innovation Blvd., Forney, TX 75126. This expansion brings more accessible and flexible program options to international students in the Dallas area, particularly those interested in high-demand tech fields.

Through this new campus, IWU continues to grow its International Student Programs by offering graduate degrees designed for working professionals and international students seeking practical training opportunities and career-aligned education.

Graduate Programs Available at the Forney Campus

Starting Fall C 2026 (October 29), IWU will offer the following master’s programs at the Texas location:

  • MS in Computer Information Systems – Artificial Intelligence

  • MS in Artificial Intelligence – Data Analytics

These students will complete two in-person residency sessions in Forney, scheduled for November 6–8, 2026, and March 19–21, 2027.

Additional programs will be available for Winter 2027 starts (January through March), including:

  • MS in Data Analytics

  • MS in Information Technology Project Management

  • MS in Computer Information Systems – AI

  • MS in AI – Data Analytics

Residency dates for these winter cohorts include March 19–21, 2027. A second residency date is to be determined.

IWU will continue to offer start dates throughout Summer 2027:

  • Summer A: May 3, 2027

  • Summer B: May 31, 2027

  • Summer C: June 28, 2027

Important Note for International Students

Students attending the Forney campus through the ISP program will complete only their first two required residencies in Texas. All remaining residencies will take place at IWU’s Merrillville, Indiana campus. Additionally, I-20 records will be issued from the Merrillville Education Center, which serves as the official SEVIS campus location.

 

Why This Matters

The launch of IWU’s Texas campus provides a timely option for students seeking a flexible, tech-focused master’s program with practical training and CPT eligibility. Forney’s proximity to Dallas—a growing hub for innovation and industry—makes it a strategic location for both academic growth and professional development.

This expansion reflects IWU’s continued commitment to accessible, career-ready education, and GoElite is proud to support the university in welcoming new students to Texas.
