At Ohio Wesleyan, we do all we can to make transferring as seamless as possible, both academically and socially. As a prospective student, you will work closely with a member of the Admission Team, to feel prepared and confident upon arriving for classes at OWU. As an OWU student, the support continues with the OWU Connection, Career Connection, and our Sagan Academic Resource Center to help you find and follow your passions.
Transferring to Ohio Wesleyan Begins with a Visit
Preparation is the first step to your success at OWU. We encourage you to visit campus to see why so many students find their perfect fit at OWU. Come for an individual visit on a day that works for you. Or register to attend one of our programmed visit days. Either way, make sure to indicate you are a potential transfer student so we can arrange time for you with an admission representative who can address your questions.
