Welcome to Kenyon. We’re a tightly woven community that digs deep and reaches far to connect people and ideas. Ask any of us, and we’ll tell you that we can’t imagine being all-in anywhere else, or more ready to step into a world full of complexity and promise. Let us help you envision yourself at Kenyon by showing you our campus and introducing you to your future professors and peers.

First Things First

It’s impossible to capture all that Kenyon has to offer, but there are a few things that set us apart.

  • Program in Computing class

    We embrace complexity.

    We recognize that disciplines are not hard boundaries, but dotted lines that can and should be crossed to explore the issues of the day, from sustainability to AI to global health.  

  • Student intern at the entrance of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art

    We put our studies into practice.

    Because mastering a subject means testing yourself, on paper, in the classroom — and also in the field.   

  • Professor and student in discussion while seated at a table with a document on it.

    We write well to think well.

    Ask any Kenyon grad, and they’ll tell you that they learned to write better at Kenyon — in their history or economics class, even their biology lab. It’s a skill that stands out in any field you pursue.   

  • Students on Middle Path

    We’re in the middle of it all.

    Our location gives us the best of all worlds — wide-open spaces to live and learn in, within easy reach of one of the fastest growing cities, giving us a front-row seat to economic, social and environmental change.

Seeing is believing.

Come see for yourself. Tour our state-of-the art facilities, sit in on a class, and meet with the students and professors who call Kenyon home.
