pre-professional programs that lead to three undergraduate degrees. Denison University fields 26 athletic teams that compete at the NCAA
Division III level in the North Coast Athletic Conference. Denison’s extracurricular options for students include more than 160 student
organizations that provide over 600 opportunities for campus leadership. These opportunities are provided on a pedestrian-friendly campus
designed by pioneering landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. The more than 900-acre campus features the 250-acre hilltop section, a
350-acre Biological Reserve, and historic Denison Golf Club. With an endowment of $1.1 billion, Denison commits over $70 million towards
