Mentored Undergraduate Research
At Wooster, every student works one-on-one with a faculty mentor for one year as part of our top ranked Independent Study program to conceive, organize, and complete a significant piece of original research, scholarship, or creative expression. You will develop skills in critical analysis, project management, creativity and communication that are valued by employers and graduate schools alike.

Our community of learners, who come from 68 countries and 48 states—from farm towns and big cities, from dozens of faiths and cultures and perspectives—is central to our mission and to the learning that happens in classrooms, residential spaces, and beyond. Wooster is a campus that embraces and celebrates our differences throughout the year.
