Welcome to Kenyon. We’re a tightly woven community that digs deep and reaches far to connect people and ideas. Ask any of us, and we’ll tell you that we can’t imagine being all-in anywhere else, or more ready to step into a world full of complexity and promise. Let us help you envision yourself at Kenyon by showing you our campus and introducing you to your future professors and peers.
First Things First
It’s impossible to capture all that Kenyon has to offer, but there are a few things that set us apart.
-
We embrace complexity.
We recognize that disciplines are not hard boundaries, but dotted lines that can and should be crossed to explore the issues of the day, from sustainability to AI to global health.
-
We put our studies into practice.
Because mastering a subject means testing yourself, on paper, in the classroom — and also in the field.
-
We write well to think well.
Ask any Kenyon grad, and they’ll tell you that they learned to write better at Kenyon — in their history or economics class, even their biology lab. It’s a skill that stands out in any field you pursue.
-
We’re in the middle of it all.
Our location gives us the best of all worlds — wide-open spaces to live and learn in, within reach of one of the nation's fastest growing cities, a mix that gives us a front-row seat to economic, social and environmental change.
