Each student assumes responsibility for knowing current requirements for graduate programs and for complying with current procedures.
Ohio University, established in 1804, was the first institution of
higher education in the old Northwest Territory. The total enrollment
on the main Athens campus is approximately 18,997, while the regional
campuses enroll more than 7,900. The present graduate enrollment is
about 2,900, of whom 2,433 are full-time students. The full-time
faculty numbers more than 830. There are more than 140 part-time
faculty and more than 900 graduate associates, graduate staff
associates, graduate research associates, and graduate teaching
associates.
On the graduate level, Ohio University offers master's degrees in
nearly all of its major academic divisions, and doctoral degrees can
be earned from selected departments, as indicated in the Table of
Contents of this catalog. The
College of Osteopathic
Medicine offers a four-year professional program leading to the
Doctor of Osteopathy degree.
The city of Athens, home
of Ohio University, is located about 75 miles southeast of Columbus.
The university offers a wide range of cultural activities not only to
the university community, but to all of southeastern Ohio.
Lecturers, poets, singers, dancers, films, and theater or music
groups appear on campus within walking distance of the residence
halls. Many events are free, though some do have nominal charges. The
university is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools and by the recognized professional accrediting
associations identified with its major academic divisions. It holds
membership in the leading state and national educational and
professional associations.
The university's
academic
calendar consists of four quarters of 10 to 12 weeks' duration,
the summer session having two five-week terms. Many students find it
advantageous to register for all four quarters, thus having an
opportunity for uninterrupted study and research.
