DOVER, Del. (AP) - Wesley College officials say they have decided to close the school's New Castle County location.

School officials say that will allow them to focus on making improvements to the college's main campus in Dover. The Wilmington News Journal reports the move will affect about 100 students, three part-time employees and two full-time employees.

Wesley officials say the college may offer classes somewhere in New Castle County for as long as two years, if necessary, to ensure current students can finish their degrees. New Castle classes are offered in a building in an office park Reads Way. Most courses are in the evening and geared toward working adults.
