Tips & Answers

Refresh Tips

Question

Is it true that a liberal arts degree won't prepare you for the real world?

Answer

No! At OWU, our liberal arts approach = adaptability + power skills. Think communication, collaboration, curiosity, and leadership. A Georgetown study found liberal arts grads earn 25% more over their careers.

Question

Do you have to pick the "right" major now?

Answer

At OWU, your major doesn't define you. You define you. In fact, 80% of students change their major—at OWU, that's part of the plan, not a problem. So take your time to dig deep and discover who you were meant to be.

Question

Is college is just about landing your first job?

Answer

Not at all. Your first job isn't your finish line. We prepare you for a lifetime of purpose, not just a paycheck.

Question

Are private schools too expensive?

Answer

No. At OWU, we make private education affordable—$50 million in financial aid distributed annually. Nearly every student pays far less than the sticker price.
