Ohio Wesleyan University is located in a town not far from a more urbanized area, in Delaware, Ohio. The school is officially a United Methodist school. Ohio Wesleyan University is a private, not-for-profit institution. Degree levels at the school top out at the Bachelor's degree.
One of the good things about Ohio Wesleyan University is its wide range of programs leading to degrees. Students at the school often study science and fine arts.
The admissions department at Ohio Wesleyan University does not accept all those who apply. Most students' verbal SAT scores were in the range of 550 to 660 in 2005. A quarter of students admitted in 2005 scored 660 or higher on the math SAT. It's not unusual for students to find their classmates include those from other parts of the country.
Students at the school benefit from the low student/teacher ratio. The school's tenure system is geared toward rewarding and keeping the most valuable professors. By paying its faculty better than most schools, the school tries to attract and retain a high quality teaching staff.
