Cross-curricular pedagogy is common at Denison and other liberal arts institutions, especially within the arts, where we are always looking for opportunities to expose young performing artists to multi-disciplinary collaborative efforts. When given the opportunity to thoroughly and thoughtfully explore all aspects of a creative project, their world expands, and they gain a deep and enriching understanding of how artists across the disciplines think and work.

Application review at Denison
The dust has settled since our application deadline passed on January 15, and once again Denison has received a record number of applications – over 12,000 in total, topping last year’s previous high of 9,500. We’re excited that interest in Denison is at an all time high – but it also means we have a lot of applications to read and tough decisions to make over the coming weeks.
Inaugural QuestBridge Class
Last fall, we were thrilled to learn that Denison had been invited to participate as a QuestBridge partner college.

Diversity discussions at Denison
Summer’s here — and the time is right for dancing in the street! Isn’t it so nice to be OUTSIDE?
Now that the summer is in full swing, I wanted to take this opportunity to update you on our multicultural recruitment efforts at Denison. After an unprecedented year, we are thrilled to have enrolled one of the largest classes of multicultural students in Denison’s history!
As May 1 Approaches
For the next few days, almost every college-bound high school senior will be going through the same routine. Wake up, decide on ‘College A,” scroll TikTok for a sign of affirmation. Change their mind about ‘College A,” go to school. Realize that every other senior is doing the same thing. On Saturday, all the overthinking, all the confusion, and all of the mystery will come to an end.
Next Steps for Admitted, Alt Start, and Waitlisted Students
Over the last couple weeks, you’ve probably heard from several students as they’ve shared admission offers, weighed options, and discussed future plans. Although a traditional fall start is standard for most students, some might ask why they were offered admission for a spring start — or even for the following fall.
