ABOUT OTTERBEIN UNIVERSITY: Historically progressive. That is the hallmark of Otterbein University and
those connected to this private university nestled in the picturesque, historic Uptown Westerville district in central
Ohio. Otterbein University was established in 1847, a set of deeply rooted values still guide this model community of
leaders and learners. Otterbein has set the pace by providing an educational experience that is progressive, innovative
and inclusive. Today Otterbein University enrolls 2,495 undergraduate students in more than 70 majors and 393
graduate students working toward one of six master’s degrees or a doctor of nursing practice degree. Students come
from towns throughout Ohio and represent 42 states and 9 countries, enriching the campus through their individual
and collective diversity. Integrity, humane values and an inherently just, moral compass have guided Otterbein’s
forward-thinking vision and actions—from its curriculum to its responsibilities as a member of academic, regional and
global communities.
