Why Ohio Northern University

• Campus: Ohio Northern University is set in the rural village of Ada. It’s a small town, but they still do plenty of big things. And ONU is at the center of it all. Without the distractions of a big city, they hone in on exploring what excites them, solving what puzzles them and building strong relationships with their community.  
• High-Impact Educational Practices: Instilling students with a passion for learning happens every day inside ONU's small, intimate classrooms. But it goes beyond that; they also believe in engaging and empowering students through an abundance of experimental-learning opportunities that happen outside the classroom. It's called high-impact learning – where students get the chance to roll up their sleeves, apply the knowledge they've gained, and actually solve challenges and develop solutions.
• Strength from Faith: In 1899, the University affiliated with the United Methodist Church and more intentionally embraced church-related values. From these beginnings, Ohio Northern University has developed a focus on teaching, learning, scholarship, professional practice and a campus environment that’s centered on students, service and values.
• Small University, Huge Impact: ONU has a rich history of academic excellence, and they're always evolving to meet society’s ever-changing needs. They’ve most recently been recognized for teaching quality, high graduation rates, commitment to volunteer service and, most impressively, providing a high return on investment for their graduates.
