Ohio Wesleyan University requires applicants to complete a rigorous college-preparatory curriculum, including four years of English, three years of mathematics, three years of science, three years of social studies, and two years of a foreign language. A strong academic record with a minimum GPA of 2.5 is preferred, though most admitted students have higher averages.
Standardized test scores (SAT or ACT) are optional but can strengthen an application. Extracurricular involvement, leadership, and personal essays are also considered. International students must demonstrate English proficiency via TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo scores. Transfer students need a minimum 2.0 GPA from accredited institutions.
