Wabash College is a private, men's liberal arts college in Crawfordsville, Indiana, United States. Founded in 1832 by a group of Dartmouth College graduates and Midwestern leaders, the institution was originally named "The Wabash Teachers Seminary and Manual Labor College". It was later renamed Wabash College in 1851. The college was founded with the intention of providing classical and English education to young men in the region, aiming to develop future educators and clergy.
One of just a few all-male liberal arts colleges left in the country, this small Indiana school offers a genuinely tight-knit academic experience with a reasonable average net price of around $22,000/year and solid median earnings of $64,000 a decade out. The 77% graduation rate is decent but not exceptional for a school this selective, so it's worth asking what's driving that gap — especially since nearly 1 in 7 freshmen don't return after their first year. Worth considering seriously if you thrive in a close community, are open to a single-sex environment, and want a liberal arts education without the debt load of many comparable private schools.
