Students will benefit from these programs by participating in academic activities outside of the traditional classroom space, professional development activities, and both domestic and international travel-learning experiences funded by The Woltemade Center.
Beyond Ohio Wesleyan's already generous financial aid, The Woltemade Center and Economics Department are pleased to offer several outstanding scholarships and grants.
Because internships have become a prerequisite for even entry-level jobs in business, The Woltemade Center actively encourages and assists students in the pursuit of internships locally, nationally, and internationally.
The Woltemade Center Lecture Series at OWU is an enriching program that serves both students and the community, with a particular focus on topics related to economics, business, and entrepreneurship. By inviting esteemed scholars, industry leaders, and innovative thinkers, this series sparks engaging discussions and offers diverse perspectives on the dynamic world of economics and entrepreneurship.
The participation and support of Ohio Wesleyan alumni have played a substantive role in the Woltemade Center's growth and success since its inception in 1985. We are gratified by their belief in our program as evidenced by their gifts of time, talent, and treasure.
OWU graduates leave with knowledge, experience, and a hunger to change the world—a combination that excites employers and graduate schools. Our graduates land in top graduate programs, get good jobs, and have the far-reaching perspectives to keep on learning and the broad-based skills to move up the ladder.
