About Wabash College

Founded in 1832, Wabash College is a private, independent, residential four-year liberal arts college with a mission to “educate men to think critically, act responsibly, lead effectively, and live humanely.” Its faculty is ranked No. 2 nationally for accessibility by the Princeton Review. The College invests significant resources to ensure students can participate in off-campus and international immersion learning experiences. Our 65-acre wooded campus is located in Crawfordsville, Indiana. Crawfordsville is a growing and vibrant community with easy access to outdoor recreation and is a 50-minute drive west of Indianapolis.

In the midst of a strategic transformation to advance the success of first-generation students and students from low-income families, Wabash College is committed to attracting and effectively supporting faculty and staff with a demonstrated commitment to supporting student success. Approximately 25% of our students are federal Pell Grant recipients, one-third of our students are first-generation college students, and about 20% of our students identify as domestic students of color. Wabash offers a broad range of academic and cultural programs open to all members of the Wabash community with the goal of providing a rich educational environment. Wabash is a top-60 Liberal Arts College according to U.S. News, and a member of Colleges That Change Lives. Many students, staff, and faculty find the close-knit community of the residential college one of the most rewarding aspects of their time here.
