OWU earns high praise

0

Ohio Wesleyan University is one of “the ‘best and most interesting’ schools in the United States, as well as in Canada, Great Britain, and Ireland,” providing its students with “a solid liberal arts experience focused not on bells and whistles, but on practical career-related experience.”

This is according to “Fiske Guide to Colleges 2019,” a respected college search guidebook created by former New York Times education editor Edward B. Fiske. Released July 10, the 35th edition of the guide is committed to delivering “an insider’s look at what it’s really like to be a student” at its featured schools.

The new guidebook also highlights The OWU Connection, the university’s signature program, stating, “All students participate in The OWU Connection, supplementing their major with interdisciplinary learning, global perspectives, and practical experiences; students may fulfill these expectations by choosing from a number of pathways, such as special courses, study abroad, internships, and independent projects.”

To help high school students with their college search, the Fiske Guide also includes comments from current Ohio Wesleyan students and recent graduates. The OWU students state:

“The professors are very accessible and are willing to help students however they can.”

“There are many social events on campus to keep students busy and entertained.”

“Ohio Wesleyan is a place where the education goes well beyond the classroom. The family atmosphere and the opportunities that the college provides you enrich the entire college experience.”
