OWU students live on campus for all four years—that means you'll always have friends, study partners, and late-night video game marathon challengers nearby.

Accomplished faculty

They're Fulbright, Mellon, and Guggenheim award-winners. Researchers with the NSF, NIH, NEH, and NASA. What connects them? An endless desire for knowledge.

How do you Oh-Wooo?

Make the most of every opportunity. Double major in chemistry and art. Nab a grant to study sustainability in Taiwan. Lead a campus organization. Spend spring break volunteering in El Salvador – and go back for the summer. Intern at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.

At OWU, students are always seeking more: more knowledge, more experiences, more opportunities. Classes are just the beginning. Programs like our OWU Connection bring together your studies and experiences that can power your future, from travel study to research to internships and beyond.

For the health and safety of the OWU community, the admission staff, and our visitors, we will be offering limited on-campus visit options. Find out how to schedule your visit.

We will still offer several ways to connect virtually, including building your OWU CustomViewbook and taking OWU’s 360-degree virtual tour.

Tips & Answers

Refresh Tips

Tip

Use a Planner. Contrary to popular belief, a planner is not constricting and will probably leave you feeling more organized and self-assured. After planning becomes a habit, you won't miss commitments and you will find yourself with more time than before.

Tip

Eat free before finals at Midnight Breakfast and you'll even be served by your favorite OWU professors, staff, and the president!

Tip

When planning a campus visit, make sure to check out University Hall. There's a flag hanging for each country represented in the student body.

Question

What is UC 160?

Answer

We call it the OWU EXPERIENCE. It's a first-semester class that gives you a taste of all the possibilities open to you. You'll work with a faculty mentor to map out your four years at OWU to be sure you take advantage of all the opportunities ahead of you. From here, the choice is yours.
