Ohio Wesleyan University or OWU is a strong liberal arts college that is nationally known for its blend of scholarship and teaching, service learning, and student engagement. Chartered in 1842, Ohio Wesleyan is a highly selective, coeducational, residential, privately supported liberal arts college located 20 minutes north of Columbus in Delaware, Ohio, a vibrant community of 26,000 and seat of one of the fastest-growing counties in the country.
With a campus of more than 200 acres adjoining the downtown, the Ohio Wesleyan community includes 135 full-time faculty members and some 1,850 students from 44 states and 45 countries. Consistently ranked by U.S. News and World Report among the nation's top 100 liberal arts colleges, Ohio Wesleyan is distinguished by an outstanding faculty dedicated to preparing a diverse student body for a lifetime of learning, service and leadership.
One of the nation's leading small liberal arts colleges, OWU has grown increasingly strong particularly during the past decade. Increases in the quality of the student body have contributed to a rising academic reputation. A collegial and participatory planning and governance process has united the University community around shared goals and challenges. Initiatives in volunteerism and public service have strengthened the historic link between liberal arts learning and the civic arts of citizenship. An aggressive strategy for recruiting and educating honors students has provided a boost in the academic atmosphere.
