Wabash College Description:

Wabash College is one of the few all-male liberal arts colleges in the United States. Wabash is located in Crawfordsville, Indiana, a town about 45 miles northwest of Indianapolis. The 60-acre campus features attractive Georgian architecture, some dating back almost to the school's founding in 1832. Students can choose from 21 majors, and Wabash has an impressive 10 to 1 student / faculty ratio.

Wabash's strengths in the liberal arts and sciences earned it a chapter of the prestigious Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society. The majority of Wabash graduates go on to graduate or professional school. On the athletic front, Wabash competes in the NCAA Division III North Coast Athletic Conference.
