Ohio Wesleyan University is a national liberal arts university with a philosophy and curriculum that directly connect traditional liberal arts with international and practical experience. The OWU Connection, Ohio Wesleyan's unique curricular approach, melds interdisciplinary classroom and laboratory learning with travel and field opportunities to provide students with a rich learning experience that prepares them for their next step, whether that is a career or graduate school. The university's OWU Connection grants allow students to propose and conduct original research, complete internships, and learn in settings throughout the world. Founded in 1842, Ohio Wesleyan is remarkable for the depth of its academic and pre-professional programs, the international dimension of its curriculum, its focus on community through leadership and service, and its unwavering commitment to linking theory and practice in a global context. The university offers about 70 majors, with additional minors and concentrations, and more than one-fourth of students graduate with at least two majors. Honors study offers robust opportunities to talented students, and all students are encouraged to pursue internships and research. With a 10:1 student-to-faculty ratio, classes are small, averaging only 15 students per class. And students have many options for one-on-one advising, tutoring, and mentoring. Ohio Wesleyan works with students to make college affordable, and 99 percent of students receive scholarships or need-based financial aid, which averages about $45,000 a year. Ohio Wesleyan is located on a beautiful 200-acre campus, connected to the friendly, historic downtown of Delaware. Located 20 miles from Columbus, Ohio's capital and the nation's 14th-largest city, Ohio Wesleyan offers the best of small-town living with the abundant opportunities for learning, internships, and cultural opportunities of a major urban center. Students participate in nearly 100 campus organizations and 24 NCAA Division III men's and women's athletic teams. More than 95 percent of OWUs 2019 graduates were employed or in graduate school within six months of earning their degrees. In the past decade, 85 percent of OWU graduates applying to medical school were accepted, and 93 percent of those applying to law school were admitted to programs including Harvard, Virginia, Michigan, and Northwestern.
