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.

Employers covet OWU’s well-prepared graduates. In 2022, 96% of reporting graduates were employed and/or in graduate school within six months.
