Ohio University

Ohio University

Established in 1804, Ohio University is the ninth oldest public institution of higher learning in the United States. The University combines all the advantages of a major university with the appeal of a caring and personalized atmosphere. Ohio University's intellectual and cultural environments blend well with Athens' lively small-town atmosphere to create a setting where students enjoy a quality of life that is difficult to match. We offer a variety of highly interactive distance education programs that provide working professionals with the convenience and flexibility to further their education from home or the office while they continue to build their careers. Ohio University’s goal is to serve not only its neighboring communities but the world as a whole by providing a wide-reaching community of learners with access to opportunities for intellectual and personal growth.
