Getting In

WHAT ARE STUDENTS SAYING?

“A campus visit is a good idea for anyone interested in OSU. It was very informative, more so than all the literature. Very impressive and personable! I have attended other university programs which did not give this one-on-one approach.”

“We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the campus. We have visited smaller colleges that were not as well kept as Ohio State.”

“I am very pleased with the product I have purchased at this University I feel my purchase of Ohio State University will be beneficial to my future.”

“We found the Ohio State University to be the most diverse, affordable and productive research institution in the state.”

WHAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE?

Depends. Costs for the 2010-2011 Academic Year for an Ohio Resident attending the Columbus campus as a full-time student, will be $9,420 (tuition only). Full-time status at a regional campus will cost $6,102 for an Ohio Resident. Room and Board is an additional $10,164 at the Columbus campus with additional costs for books, supplies, travel, etc. Tuition for nonresidents attending the Columbus campus is $23,604 and $20,286 for regional campuses. Again, Room and Board is a separate cost from tuition. Tuition and room and board are slightly higher for ATI.

WHAT ARE THE ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS?

Your acceptance to OSU will depend on your class rank, GPA, College Entrance Exam scores and other factors. Make sure you have the appropriate documents available when you apply. If you haven’t taken the ACT or SAT, check with your high school counselor to schedule the exam. If you are transferring from another college, you will need to supply an original transcript from that institution. Detailed criteria for admission.
