The College of Wooster is a liberal arts college nationally recognized for its emphasis on mentored, independent undergraduate research. Founded in 1866, the college enrolls approximately 1,800 students, who choose from among 43 majors in the sciences, humanities, business and the arts. Wooster offers an excellent, comprehensive liberal education that culminates in a rigorous project of inquiry or creative expression, called Independent Study. By working in partnership with a faculty member to conceive, organize and complete a significant project on a topic of the student’s own choosing, every Wooster student develops abilities valued by employers and graduate schools alike: initiative, self-confidence, independent judgment, creative problem solving, and strong written and oral communication skills.
