Ohio Wesleyan University

 Ohio Wesleyan is  also a member  the Ohio 5 college consortium.  OWU(or Oh-Woo)  is a  smal lliberal arts school located in Delaware ,Ohio  a small town   30 miles away from  the  state capital Columbus. OWU is a very liberal and politically active campus.   It also prides itself on being a very international campus. Almost half of all students will study or volunteer in  a foreign country.   It is ne of the few colleges to  offer   financial aid to international students, therefore OWU has one of the largest proportions of foreign students among the  liberal arts colleges.

While OWU has  strong programs in the sciences ( particularly chemistry and biology)  as well as humanities but its real strength is the   freedom to do interdisciplinary work in diverse fields such as Art and Chemistry. OWU also allows and encourages undergraduate student research.

 Ohio Wesleyan  has an acceptance rate of over 50%  but tis is mostly because   the applicant pool  is small and consists of students looking for a   interdisciplinary liberal arts education.  The application involves an additional personal statement essay.
