Founded in 1832, Wabash College remains one of a handful of all-male liberal arts colleges in the U.S. With an enrollment just under 900, it offers a close-knit academic environment where nearly 75% of classes have fewer than 20 students.
The workload can be rigorous, but with a low student-faculty ratio, students should have easy access to professors. Wabash offers 40 academic programs, including dual-degree arrangements for engineering with Columbia, Purdue and Washington University in St. Louis.
Wabash students can take their pick of over 70 organizations — whether it’s joining the Brewing Club, writing for The Bachelor (the student-run weekly newspaper), or playing on a variety of sports teams like the Ultimate Frisbee Club.
Greek life is popular among the men at Wabash; more than half the student body are members of one of the 10 national fraternities on campus. Nearly all students get a grant to reduce the college's sticker price. Students have to abide by what's called the gentleman's rule: "The student is expected to conduct himself at all times, both on and off campus, as a gentleman and a responsible citizen."
