Priorities in Action

New Denison Commitment provides price transparency for families

Denison announced the launch of a new pricing model that caps how much families pay toward tuition based on their total income, providing a better sense of costs early in their college search process.

The Denison Commitment is the latest initiative to further cement the university’s emphasis on access and affordability. For many years, Denison has been among the small percentage of U.S. colleges that meet 100% of each admitted student’s demonstrated financial need.

This financial support for students is made possible through scholarships provided by the generosity of alums, families, and friends of Denison. 

Denison’s momentum recognized in latest national rankings

As Ohio's #1 liberal arts college for the third consecutive year, Denison continues to rank among the nation’s leading liberal arts institutions, as reflected in new college rankings from U.S. News & World Report.
