In addition to the Athens campus, Ohio University has five campuses located in Chillicothe, Ironton, Lancaster, St. Clairsville, and Zanesville. The primary objective of the regional campuses is to offer a broad program at the freshman and sophomore levels as well as selected upper-division and graduate courses. Each location has a full two-year curriculum in the arts and sciences, business administration, and education, with selected courses in such specialized fields as engineering and fine arts. You are eligible to earn the Associate in Arts or the Associate in Science degree after completing an approved two-year program of study. Available at some locations are specialized two-year programs leading to the Associate in Applied Business or Associate in Applied Science, designed as preparations for specific career opportunities in the immediate geographical area. In selected areas, you may pursue upper-level and graduate courses and can complete baccalaureate degrees in general business, elementary education, criminal justice, specialized studies, and nursing. Regional campuses offer, on a rotating basis, selected graduate degree programs in their service areas. Regional campus programs are listed in the University College section of this catalog.
Regional campuses have an open admissions policy for high school graduates. Ohio high school graduates who can commute from home to one of the regional campuses will be admitted as regular full-time or special part-time students. This decision is based on the high school transcript, Scholastic Aptitude Test, or American College Test (preferred). The regional campuses have no residence halls.
