- Mission
- Founded in 1842, Ohio Wesleyan is a selective, diverse, national liberal arts university in Delaware, Ohio. Students obtain a wide breadth of knowledge through rigorous study of the arts, humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences. The university offers more than 90 majors, sequences, and courses of study. Honors study offers unusual opportunities to talented students, while all students are encouraged to pursue internships and research. Classes are small, and all full-time tenure track-professors hold a Ph.D. or equivalent. Ohio Wesleyan is located on an attractive 200-acre campus, and students come from 47 states and 57 countries. Housing options include six large residence halls; a number of smaller special-interest living units, ranging from the Creative Arts House to the Peace and Justice House; and seven fraternity houses. Sorority houses are nonresidential. Three fully renovated residences will open for upperclass men and women in Fall 2010. Students can participate in nearly 100 campus organizations as well as 23 NCAA Division III men's and women's athletic teams, including a newly added women's golf team, which will begin play in 2010-2011. In 2008-2009, OWU won the North Coast Athletic Conference All-Sports Trophy for the third consecutive year and the ninth time overall. Ground was broken for the new Meek Aquatics and Recreation Center, to be opened in Fall 2010. Ohio Wesleyan was one of only three colleges in the United States to win the 2009 President's Award for Excellence in General Community Service. The student body donated more than 45,000 hours to local, national, and international service. Ohio Wesleyan's chapter of the Society of Physics Students was selected by the national organization as an "Outstanding SPS Chapter"; OWU added a major in planetary science; and a medical science symposium was established; Sagan National Colloquium speakers included Barbara Ehrenreich, (Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America) and Susan Eisenhower, president of the Eisenhower Group. Experientially based Sagan Fellows classes have been added to the Colloquium; a new program of competitive grants for students and faculty has resulted in a great variety of research projects. Both of these study-research experiences may involve international travel.
