About Ohio Wesleyan University
Ohio Wesleyan’s goal is to provide every student with transformational experiences that will prepare them for the causes, careers, and graduate school opportunities they want to pursue. We do this through close relationships with faculty-mentors and through a unique program called The OWU Connection. Located in Delaware, OH (a small town near a big city), OWU is ideally positioned for students to engage in academic and social opportunities. OWU offers 60+ majors and 40% of its students compete in varsity athletics. In 2019, 95% of reporting graduates were employed or in graduate school within six months. OWU is featured in “Colleges That Change Lives” and recognized as a top 100 national liberal arts college by “U.S. News & World Report.”

We currently offer students nearly 60 majors to choose from, and students have until the end of their sophomore year to decide. We encourage and work with students to combine majors to broaden their skills and opportunities with a second major. More than one-fourth of our students graduate with multiple majors, one of the highest percentages in the nation.
