Since 1842. Still Insatiable.

At Ohio Wesleyan, our students hunger to solve problems, save lives, create jobs, make art, change the world. The OWU Connection gives them a bounty of united experiences—across disciplines, across cultures, across continents—so they will think big, go global, and get real experience. After our students graduate, we expect them to be insatiable problem solvers and agents of change.

This is liberal arts for a new day.

What Is The OWU Connection?

Feed Your Mind

Our professors are Fulbright, Mellon, and Guggenheim award winners. Top researchers. Authors, artists, and scholars. First and foremost, they're teachers and mentors.

Celebrate Friendship

Our Day on the JAY celebration brings out the whole campus for a street fair.

Chew Up the Competition

Since the year 2000, OWU varsity teams have won 71 conference championships, and 151 student-athletes have been named All-American.

Find your future

Fully 94% of 2015 graduates report being employed or in graduate school within months of graduation. The OWU Connection helps you develop the skills employers crave.

Think Big

Explore the connections that link the arts, sciences, and humanities in solving complex, real-world challenges.

Go Global

Expand your learning by immersing yourself in another culture. And check out our innovative Global Scholars Program.

Get Real

Take what you learn in the classroom and put it to work in real-world settings.

Have a Ball

Three out of four OWU students play varsity, club, or intramural sports

Be an Entrepreneur

Forbes ranks OWU as the #1 "Most Entrepreneurial" college in Ohio and #17 in America.

Make a Difference

Every year, OWU students perform more than 40,000 hours of community service

Dig into Seconds

More than one-fourth of OWU students graduate with more than one major. We help you connect almost any disciplines to create your pathway.

From Our Perspective

We are active and engaged with the world. We have thoughtful opinions, big ideas, and we share them in a rich campus conversation.
