The College of Wooster is a community of independent minds, working together to prepare students to become leaders of character and influence in an interdependent global community.
The College of Wooster is a liberal arts college nationally recognized for its emphasis on mentored, independent undergraduate research. Founded in 1866, Wooster enrolls approximately 2,000 students, who choose from among more than 50 academic programs in the sciences, humanities, business and the arts. U.S. News & World Report ranks Wooster number five among the nation’s liberal arts colleges for excellence in teaching.
Wooster offers an excellent, comprehensive liberal education, culminating in a rigorous project of inquiry or creative expression, called Independent Study, or I.S. By working in partnership with a faculty mentor 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.
