Campus Highlights
Founded in 1832, Wabash is a private, liberal arts college for men whose mission is to educate men to think critically, act responsibly, lead effectively, and live humanely. Wabash's special strength lies with a faculty dedicated to teaching undergraduate students; more than 95 percent of the 90 faculty members hold a Ph.D. or equivalent terminal degree. Wabash maintains a student/faculty ratio of 10/1 or lower. Wabash College has wireless internet access campus wide.

During the Campaign for Leadership, Wabash built Hays Hall, the $30 million home of the biology and chemistry departments; renovated Goodrich Hall, which is home to the mathematics and physics departments; built a $2 million Malcolm X Institute for Black Studies; and built the $20 million Allen Athletics and Recreation Center.

Wabash offers 21 majors in the following areas: Art, Biology, Chemistry, Classics, Economics, English, French, German, Greek, History, Latin, Mathematics, Music, Philosophy, Physics, Political Science, Psychology, Religion, Rhetoric, Spanish, and Theater. Students may choose a double major, a 3-2 engineering program with Columbia University or Washington University (St. Louis); or a 3-3 program in law with Columbia University. Students interested in secondary education may participate in the Ninth Semester Teacher Education Program.

Community and Volunteer Opportunities
For Wabash men, community service is not something to put off until later. Instead, it is their first experience during freshman orientation. Wabash offers community service opportunities that are as diverse as they are numerous. Students can get involved in Crawfordsville community activities by checking out our website at http://www.wabash.edu/communityService/

for a full list of the available opportunities.

Off-Campus Opportunities
Wabash offers weeklong immersion trips that are taken in conjunction with a class. Students travel within the United States as well as well as locations such as England, France, Italy, Germany, Mexico, and Russia to enrich and enhance the classroom material. Trips are held during campus breaks and expenses are covered by Wabash.

Work-Study Options
Wabash Employment Self-Help (ESH) is awarded to students as part of their financial aid package and is a part-time on-campus work opportunity. A student will be paid biweekly as he works and this assistance should be used to cover a portion of his educational and personal expenses. You can search http://www.wabash.edu/admissions/finances/jobs for additional information concerning ESH.

Surrounding Area
Crawfordsville, home to more than 14,000 people, is ranked one of the 100 best small towns in America by New Republic magazine. While Crawfordsville is not a metropolis, you will find all of the collegiate “necessities.” And if you need time away from campus, Crawfordsville is only one hour by car from Indianapolis and three hours from both Chicago and Cincinnati.

Wabash Mission Statement
