Founded in 1845, Baldwin Wallace was one of the first colleges in Ohio to admit students without regard to race or gender. That spirit of inclusiveness has evolved into a personalized approach to education that stresses growth as students learn to learn, respond to new ideas and prepare for change.

Our location, a residential community 20 minutes from Cleveland, facilitates our ability to provide liberal arts learning and practical career preparation.
