CRITICAL THINKING, CAREFUL JUDGMENT, EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION AT WABASH

A secret of Wabash's success is learning together.

WABASH COLLEGE OFFERS QUALIFIED YOUNG MEN A SUPERIOR EDUCATION, fostering, in particular, independent intellectual inquiry, critical thought, and clear written and oral expression. The College educates its students broadly in the traditional curriculum of the liberal arts, while also requiring them to pursue concentrated study in one or more disciplines.

Wabash provides for its students an unusually informal, egalitarian, and participatory environment in order to cultivate qualities of character and leadership in students by developing not only their analytic skills, but also sensitivity to values, and judgment and compassion required of citizens living in a difficult and uncertain world. We expect a Wabash education to bring joy in the life of the mind, to reveal the pleasures in the details of common experience, and to affirm the necessity for and rewards in helping others.

The curriculum at Wabash allows maximum flexibility while providing the broad base of understanding that is the core of the liberal arts concept. Wabash offers 39 majors and minors, with minors exclusively in Asian Studies, Black Studies, Business, Computer Science, Electronic Music, Film & Digital Media, Gender Studies, Global Health, Multicultural American Studies, and Neuroscience, dual degree programs in Engineering and Accounting, and pre-professional programs in law and medicine.

Wabash's Liberal Arts Plus iniative is in its third year focusing on Global Health, Democracy & Public Discourse, the Center for Innovation, Business, & Entrepreneurship, and Digital Arts & Human Values.

To graduate, Wabash students must complete 34 courses, including the Freshman Tutorial and Enduring Questions; demonstrate proficiency in English composition and in a foreign language; and pass the senior oral and written comprehensive examinations.
