For nearly 180 years, Wittenberg University has been creating a purposeful, engaging, and genuine experience for its diverse community of learners. Here, students are the lead in their life story. They bring the dreams and the drive, and Wittenberg provides the places, people, and possibilities that promise to turn them into wiser, more world-ready leaders headed for fulfilling futures. With mentors, advisors, and brilliant minds who put just as much into student success as students do, Wittenberg University excels in academic and pre-professional programming, student-faculty research, career preparation, service, athletics, and more.

Located less than 50 miles west of Columbus in Springfield, Ohio, the University is known for having a small school energy that sparks imagination, illuminates understanding, and equips students with confidence and a caring light. For generations, Wittenberg has challenged its students to become responsible global citizens, to discover their callings, and to lead personal, professional, and civic lives of creativity, service, compassion, and integrity, all within a diverse, personalized residential setting in the heart of southwest Ohio.

What will Wittenberg students do? What will they achieve as alumni? Some might say “that’s up to them,” but Wittenberg knows better: it’s on the University, too. Wittenberg and its students do this thing together — Witt + You — because we both have a stake in the outcome.
