Academics
Academics at Denison is more than just lectures and exams in
classrooms. Academic success is Denison’s core goal and students
achieve this through small class sizes and the very best faculty. Both
inside and outside the classroom, students learn and grow, creating
incredible bonds and unforgettable memories.

FINE ARTS SUMMER
PRESENTATIONS
Similar to the Summer Scholars
Presentation, students submit
proposals to do research and
work on particular areas of
interest within the arts. From
Studio Art to Cinema, students
spend the summer working,
researching and creating.
SUMMER SCHOLARS
Presentations
The Summer Scholars program offers Denison
students the opportunity to explore, in depth,
a topic of particular interest, usually within the
department of their major. These six to ten
weeks of intense research then culminate in
a poster presentation at the beginning of the
next academic year.
