Ohio Wesleyan University (OWU) is a small liberal arts college with about 1800 students. Located in Delaware, Ohio, the university’s theme is “TIPIT”: theory into practice into theory. This means OWU strives to enable students to apply what they learn to research, travel, service learning, and internships, and then to connect those experiences to their future coursework. OWU sets aside a quarter of a million dollars per year for student research, and students can apply for grants to fund research on and off campus. OWU also provides many opportunities for study abroad, including travel-learning courses that conclude with a ten-day or two-week trip at the end of the spring semester. Social/residential options include fraternities and sororities and themed houses.
