About the Institution
Independent Minds, Working Together
What does that mean?
It means Wooster is a diverse, supportive, unpretentious community of learners where students can be themselves, discover and pursue their passions, and forge lifelong bonds with faculty, coaches, staff, and one another that enrich their experience and sustain the College?s tradition of excellence.
Wooster offers an excellent, comprehensive liberal education, culminating in a rigorous, in-depth senior project of inquiry or creative expression, called Independent Study. By working one-on-one in partnership with a faculty adviser to conceive, organize and complete this project on a topic of his or her 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.
This distinctive educational program makes Wooster the nation?s premier liberal arts college for mentored undergraduate research.
