About Us
Founded in 1831, Denison University is a leading national college of liberal arts and sciences where highly motivated students from across the country and around the world come to pursue academic inquiry and research, to analyze and solve problems, and to forge the skills needed to succeed in their personal, professional and civic lives.
Innovative faculty and a completely residential campus provide an integrated learning environment for students to develop as critical thinkers, perceptive moral agents and active citizens in a global community as they prepare for rewarding lives of purpose and impact.
On a beautiful, fully residential campus, students build enduring relationships and pathways to the professions, supported by faculty mentorship in classrooms, laboratories and studios; through a wealth of career-launch programs and internships; and in partnership with a thriving, far-reaching alumni network. Denison’s position as a national leader in higher education is recognized by “Colleges That Change Lives,” U.S. News, The New York Times, The Huffington Post, Forbes, Kiplinger's, The Princeton Review, and the Fiske Guide to Colleges, among many others.
