Wabash College is a small, 60-acre, all-men’s private liberal arts college located in Crawfordsville, Indiana, just 45 miles northwest of the state capital of Indianapolis and not far from Purdue. Founded in 1832, the college is one of just three remaining all-men’s liberal art colleges.
The current enrollment is only 872 students and the school employs just 82 faculty members. Despite its small size, the school offers 22 majors and several minors. Academic programs are divided among three Divisions: Division One encompasses the natural sciences; Division Two the social sciences; and Division Three the humanities and arts.
The education received by those lucky enough to be accepted by Wabash College is both extensive and rigorous. In order to graduate, all students are required to take a series of tests, which include two written exams and an oral exam. The oral exam is one hour long and is presided over by three professors: one from the student’s major field, one from the minor field, and one chosen at random. Questions can come from any of the educational materials students have been presented with during their four-year stay at the college.
While Wabash men like to be taken seriously, they also like to have fun. The college hosts over 60 recognized clubs and has a healthy Greek system in which 60 percent of students participate.
Wabash College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
