At The College of Wooster, curiosity isn't just encouraged-it's woven into the fabric of our education. Through rigorous academics, an innovative curriculum, and one-on-one mentorship from faculty and staff, our students transform their curiosity into valued life skills: how to ask insightful questions, solve complex challenges, and complete meaningful projects with a confidence they may not have thought possible. This curiosity leads to extraordinary outcomes. Whether they dream of developing treatments for diseases, studying climate change, founding their own companies, creating acclaimed films, or something else entirely, within nine months of graduating 93% percent of Wooster alumni are employed or in graduate school, and 91% of those planning graduate studies are accepted to their first-choice program. When you ask, "Why Wooster," we'll share that we're nationally ranked for many things: our accessible professors, outstanding classroom experience, and being a top private school for internships. We'll especially highlight our top-ranked senior capstone program, Independent Study (I.S.). I.S. is not your ordinary capstone because every student completes one. Diving deep into a topic of their choice with individual guidance of a faculty mentor, students not only develop new knowledge, they form a community of shared experience with their classmates and discover what they're capable of. Just ask our alumni. Wooster is also much more than classes, projects and statistics. Our truly welcoming environment attracts students, faculty and staff from around the globe with 14% of our students hailing from 76 countries, studying alongside peers from nearly every state in the U.S. Beyond the classroom, our students develop confidence, leadership and lifelong relationships while playing on our 23 varsity athletic teams, performing in our seven music ensembles, participating in our 120 clubs, and enjoying campus festivals and off-campus experiences like study abroad, internships and volunteering. Words can only say so much. Visit our beautiful campus and see why the world comes to Wooster. Step into the power of your curiosity and graduate ready to make your mark on the world. Find answers. Find your future. Find yourself at The College of Wooster.
