As a residential undergraduate liberal arts college, Denison is among those places that have been called “distinctively American” in their contribution to higher education worldwide. In fact, it is one of a select number of institutions that today defines the type. Entering its 177th year, Denison has maintained a fully residential campus based upon the well-tested premise that learning flourishes in community. Students pursue a major field of study selected from 39 areas offered by 28 disciplinary departments and interdisciplinary programs in divisions of Natural Science, Humanities, Social Science, and Fine Arts as well as complete a sequence of General Education and a personalized curriculum of electives from across the college.
