College of Business

BOBCAT BUSINESS!

There are many learning communities available to freshmen at Ohio University each year, but only the Bobcat Business! LC is tailored exclusively to business students. In each of three Bobcat Business! communities, a group of twenty students will be enrolled in a set of thematically linked courses, with each community living on the same residential green.

Participation will provide a first-year experience that offers unique out-of-class activities, additional opportunities for building friendships, and early interaction with business faculty. Think of it as having the same course schedule as twenty of your friends; opportunities to study together, work on group projects, support each other, and simply build friendships are magnified.

In addition to these benefits you will have the added advantage of arriving at Precollege this summer with the most of your fall quarter course schedule already planned. Bobcat Business! is a great way to jump-start your college career!

Participation Requirements

Admission to Bobcat Business! will be limited to those students whose math score on ACT is 19 or above, or SAT score is 460 or above, which will allow direct admission to the required course ECON 103.

Enrollment for general learning communities occurs during Precollege.
