I just graduated and I am currently enrolled in a PhD program, and feel like I could not have been better prepared for graduate school. I think this can not be more true in the science fields. OWU is also a great place to learn how to rigorously examine ideas and to form new, important ideas of your own. The student body and amazing professors at Ohio Wesleyan continuously challenged me to go beyond my comfort zone. I especially found that in classes in the Humanities/Classics Department with professors such as Conrad Kent and Lateiner. I also found that the graduate institutions to which I applied acknowledge and value the intellectual rigor of my Ohio Wesleyan education. A lot of my peers seem to share my perception about this. For instance, upon learning where I had attended undergrad, a professor at the Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs (not a Ohio Wesleyan alum) turned to a group of other prospective students who did not much about Ohio Wesleyan University or thought about the other Wesleyan in Connecticut and explained that Ohio Wesleyan was a special place, "tough but very good"

Now for the typical words of warning: If you are hoping to jump into a prosperous career right out of undergrad, a Ohio Wesleyan diploma won't get you very far in the corporate/professional world. I think the school prepares you really well for academia.
