Welcome to the Five Colleges of Ohio project to explore the effectiveness of a liberal arts education to foster creative and critical thinking.

This multi-year project is funded by the Teagle Foundation, a medium-sized foundation based in New York City and dedicated to increasing student engagement and learning in the liberal arts and sciences.

On this site, you will find information about the project mission, its participants, direct and indirect measures that participants have developed and piloted, scholarly resources on creative and critical thinking, interviews with creativity experts, and findings from the project.

If you are interested in learning more about the project or participating in it, contact Nancy Grace at NGrace@wooster.edu.

We look forward to your feedback.
