Of America’s 3,800 colleges and universities, fewer than four percent are residential liberal arts colleges. Among that select group, The College of Wooster enjoys growing national recognition for its excellence, and especially for its commitment to independent learning.

More than half a century after he first articulated it, Howard Lowry’s vision for Independent Study seems more relevant than ever. It is a distinctive approach to liberal arts education, but it is not an inexpensive one. It takes faculty as dedicated to teaching, advising, and mentoring their students as they are to their scholarly work. It takes first-class facilities. And it takes the resources to attract bright, motivated students to Wooster.

We invite those who have been touched directly by Wooster and those who believe in the enduring value of liberal arts education to join with us. Help us meet the challenge of excellence by supporting Independent Minds: The Campaign for Wooster.
