Denison University

Denison University strives to inspire and educate students to become autonomous thinkers, discerning moral agents and active citizens of a democratic society. Through an emphasis on active learning, Denison engages students in the liberal arts, which fosters self-determination and demonstrates the transformative power of education. We envision our students' lives as based upon rational choice, a firm belief in human dignity and compassion unlimited by cultural, racial, sexual, religious or economic barriers, and directed toward an engagement with the central issues of our time.
