WHY WRIGHT STATE?

On December 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright made the first controlled flights in a powered aircraft and changed the world forever. Wright State University is named for these Dayton natives who invented the world’s first successful airplane.

Wright State offers an accredited, award-winning education at an

affordable price. You can make friends from around the world on

our ethnically and culturally diverse campuses while still getting a

true American university experience. Wright State has also produced

award-winning alumni like Oscar winner Hannah Beachler and

Grammy-winning Nicole Scherzinger.

WHY DAYTON?

Wright State University is located in

a safe and welcoming community just 15

minutes from downtown Dayton—a city that

combines an affordable cost of living with

an endless variety of activities and events.

Unique to the American Midwest, Dayton

has a convenient and affordable public

transportation system that connects directly

to the Wright State campus, allowing you to

experience all of the benefits of Dayton and

our region no matter where you choose to

live. We are also close to major U.S. cities

like Columbus, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and

Chicago.

Or take advantage of our Lake Campus, located on the shores of Ohio’s Grand Lake St. Marys. You’ll still access the services at the Dayton Campus, but can take Lake Campus programs.
