Work (and succeed) together
From the one-on-one exploration of Independent Study, to helping 200 of your closest friends fill Kauke Arch with snow, Wooster students thrive on collaboration.
Life is not a game of solitaire. No matter where you look, whether it’s a software company or a non-profit organization, government or the medical professions, it takes a combination of individual initiative and teamwork to get things done. It takes independent minds, working together.
At Wooster, the opportunities for such collaboration are many and varied.
You can work with faculty on research projects in biology, physics, chemistry, business economics, mathematics, and other fields as early as the second semester of your first year.
If you want to live in one of the College’s two dozen program houses, you’ll earn it by working alongside your housemates for a local community agency, like Habitat for Humanity, People to People Ministries, or Homework for Hoops.
Close to a third of Wooster students enjoy performing together in one of the College’s bands, choirs, or other ensembles. A similar number participate in intercollegiate athletics.
And come senior year, there’s the ultimate one-on-one collaboration: one student, one faculty advisor, one Independent Study project on a topic of your choosing.
