arts college located in Granville, Ohio. Located just 25 minutes from Columbus, Ohio, Denison offers students the benefits of both a more remote residential liberal arts school and a school close to a major metropolitan area. We are proud to offer top-tier academics with innovative academic programs - like global commerce, data analytics, financial economics and health, exercise and sports studies, in addition to programs all of the traditional art and science disciplines. We have one of the top Division III athletic programs in the country, and approximately 1/3 of the student body participates in varsity athletics. With respect to the arts, we are thrilled that this fall we are hosting the grand opening of the Michael D. Eisner Center for the Performing Arts, which will be the new home to our incredible arts program.
