Granville, OH | denison.edu

At Denison, students have to step up—there’s no hiding in the back of a lecture hall, no anonymity. They matter, and they are prepared for lives of consequence by the best faculty—professors who know their stuff, know their students’ names, and know how to inspire. Learning reaches outside classrooms, labs, and studios, because this is a residential campus community, where students live and learn together, and where they embrace ideals of integrity, intellect, diversity, and respect for each other and the environment. The outcome is that Denison graduates have a voice. They can speak, write, listen, collaborate, innovate, take responsibility, solve, adapt, and lead. The curriculum ensures that graduates have studied across disciplines, so they are not narrowly trained in one field. And when the going gets tough, the tough get the best education and then go on to lead successful lives.
