Ohio University is a major primarily residential public research university in Athens, Ohio, United States.[6] The first university chartered by an Act of Congress[7] and the first to be chartered in Ohio,[8] it was chartered in 1787 by the First Continental Congress and subsequently approved for the territory in 1802 and state in 1804,[9] opening for students in 1809.[10] As of 2016[update], the university's total enrollment, including all campuses, was more than 36,800.[11]
Ohio University maintains a selective admission rate with further admission requirements for its Journalism
and other select schools.[12][13] The Heritage College of Medicine maintains its separate select admissions criteria.[14] Ohio University offers more than 250 areas of undergraduate study.[15] On the graduate level, the university grants master's degrees in many of its major academic divisions, and doctoral degrees in selected departments.[16] Ohio University is fully accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.[17] The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching classifies Ohio as a Research University (high research activity) under the Basic Classification category.[18]
Ohio's athletic teams are called the Bobcats and compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) at the Division I level as charter members of the Mid-American Conference.[19]Ohio football has participated in ten bowl games through the 2016 season, while the men's basketball team has made 13 appearances in the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship.[20]

History[edit]
First charter[edit]
George Washington stated "the settlement of southeastern Ohio was not accidental, but the result of the careful deliberation of wise, prudent, and patriotic men." The Confederation Congress, which operated under the Articles of Confederation, did not work with an executor or cabinet.[21] Executive roles transacted from committees of Congress or appointed persons. The Ordinance of 1787 made Ohio University the first ever to be chartered through acts of Congress, with the very purpose of expanding education.[22] Additionally, the 1787 ordinance stated:
"Religion, morality and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged."
This epithet is engraved on the university's main college gateway.[1 1]
The Ohio Company[edit]
The university was first envisioned by Manasseh Cutler, credited as the school's founder along with Revolutionary War Brigadier General Rufus Putnam. Cutler had served as a chaplain in Washington's Continental Army. The institution's first name was American University.[1 1] President Thomas Jefferson's policy initiatives included a westward expansion of the new nation, with the addition of several territories to U.S. statehood.
In 1797, settlers from Marietta traveled downstream on the Ohio River and up the Hocking River to establish a location for the school, founding Athens due to its location directly between the original capital of Chillicothe and Marietta. In 1802 approval was granted by the territorial government for the establishment of the American Western University, but the school was not operated under that name.
Ohio University was recognized by the new state on February 18, 1804, as its charter was certified by the General Assembly of the new state. This last approval happened eleven months after Ohio was admitted to the Union. The first three students enrolled in 1809. The first two bachelor's degrees were granted in 1815.[23]
20th century[edit]
The 20th century saw dramatic growth in student enrollment, academic offerings, and research facilities. Between 1955 and 1970, undergraduate enrollment tripled (from 7,000 to 20,000). During this era, the campus grew, with the construction of 25 new dormitories located on two new residential college greens, with radio and television stations, research and classroom facilities, and the construction of a 13,000-seat sports arena (the Convocation Center). It is now America's 25th largest[citation needed] residential college campus.
In 1964, U.S. President Johnson publicly referenced his Great Society initiative for the first time on the College Green, bringing Ohio U into homes across America and garnering news in all continents.
In 1975, Ohio established its medical school, known as the Ohio University Heritage College of Medicine. Heritage is the only medical college in the state to award the D.O. degree. In 2011, the college received the largest private donation ever to be given to a medical college in the U.S. Approximately 240,000 living alumni now consider Ohio their alma mater, with Governors, Senators, Astronauts and media celebrities amongst its ranks. Ohio is consistently classified among the top public universities in U.S. News & World Report ranking of "Best American Colleges," and named by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching as a Doctoral/High Research Activity institution. Ohio's libraries contain more than 3 million bound volumes.[24]
Campus[edit]
The university is a residential campus in Athens, Ohio, overlooking the Hocking River.[25] Constructed under the Jefferson presidency, New England and Early Americana Federalist themes are prevalent in the university's earliest architecture. Development of the campus began in 1812 with the erection of the university's central building, Manasseh Cutler Hall, a registered national landmark, and built only 20 years after the White House.
College Green[edit]
The historic College Green is the central quadrangle lawn and location of significant campus buildings: Manasseh Cutler Hall, the Office of the President; Wilson Hall, the College of Arts and Sciences; McGuffey Hall, named for William McGuffey; and the College Gateway.[26] These three original primary structures are featured elements of the official current university logo and maintain true to their original design of over 200 years ago. The College Green has changed little in the past two centuries, which contributes to the university's colonial appearance. The green, inspired by the university founders, is based upon the classic layout of traditional English and New England towns and similar to university quadrangles.[27]
The College Green features Galbreath Chapel, the spire of which, topped with a brass weather vane, is modeled after that of the portico of Nash's All Souls Church in London. Other buildings on the College Green include Chubb Hall, home to Undergraduate Admissions as well as the Offices of the Bursar and Registrar; Ellis Hall, home to the departments of English, Classics and World Religions, and Philosophy; Templeton-Blackburn Memorial Auditorium; as well as Bryan Hall, an upperclassman residence hall. The College Green is framed by two main university gateways. Alumni Gateway, built in 1915, features verses well known to the university community which may be read upon entering and leaving campus.[28] The words over the gateway (“That thou Mayest Grow In Knowledge, Wisdom and Love”) are borrowed from the Latin phrase inscribed over a gateway to the University of Padua, Italy, and was dedicated at the beginning of the 20th century upon the 100th anniversary of the university's first graduating class. The newer College Gate, built in the 1960s, features words taken from the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 regarding public education and its founding as one of America's first public universities. The bronze university seal, embedded at the college gate, maintains the tradition that freshman must avoid stepping upon it or risk bad fortune. The nearby chimes and bells from the Cutler bell-tower's cupola ring out on the hour and sound the university Alma Mater at noon, which can be heard throughout the surrounding town and valley, as they have since 1820.
John Calhoun Baker University Center[edit]
The John Calhoun Baker University Center, which opened in January 2007, is named after John Calhoun Baker, the 14th President of Ohio. The facility replaced the original Baker Center located on East Union Street across from College Green and serves as the hub of campus activity. Electronic maps and virtual university e-tours, available at center information desks and online, direct visitors across campus.[29]
The five-story facility has been praised by The Association of College Unions International for its visual appeal and consistency with the campus' historic overall classic theme. The building features Federal architecture and large windows that admit a great deal of natural light and afford expansive views of campus. In contrast to the exterior's red brick and white columns, the interior has a more contemporary style with high domed ceilings, ergonomic furniture and a color scheme of sage, plum and mocha. Terrazzo mosaics of aspects of the earth's globe are embedded in the Grand Atrium of the main entrance to the building, which features a rotunda with curved walls, wood monumental staircase and large free-form chandelier. An unusual acoustical quality of the building is the fact that any individual standing at the exact center of the inlaid arrow on the floor of the entering rotunda and facing its entrance, speaking or even whispering, produces a unique reverberating echo similar to the effect created at the center of the United States Capitol Rotunda in Washington, D.C. Another unique feature is the fountain escalator system, the only operating escalator in southeast Ohio, intersecting the huge atrium and connecting College Green and West Green. An outdoor second floor, featuring terraced patio dining, presides over a picturesque natural pond as well as a partial view of Peden Stadium and Byrd Arena.
Baker Center contains a large food court called West 82; a pub bistro called Latitude 39; a Grand Ballroom; The Honors Collegium, The Wall of Presidents, the Bobcat Student Lounge, a shop called Bobcat Depot that sells apparel, computers, and accessories; a theater seating 400; study areas; computer labs; administrative offices; and numerous conference rooms. The Front Room, a large coffee house named after a former popular university rathskeller, features a stage, artwork and a community fireplace. It serves Starbucks products and university bakery items and is housed on the fourth floor, which opens onto its own outside terrace as well as onto the intersection of Park Place and Court Streets, making it a hot spot for students between classes. Other amenities include a United States Post Office[30] and the Trisolini Art Gallery, named after a prominent fine arts faculty member.[31]

Vernon R. Alden Library serves the Athens campus as the central library facility. The collection of the Ohio library contains over 2.3 million units of microfilm material, 13,500 periodical subscriptions and 3 million printed volumes,[24] making it one of the 100 largest libraries in the United States. The university maintains a complex system of archives in its libraries.[32] A university archive maintains and displays rare books and collections, among other treasures is a 13th-century Bible. The Learning Commons, located on the building's second floor, is open 24 hours, 5 days a week allowing students to meet and access library facilities. Laptops and other accessories are available through technology services at the reference desk. The library is organized on the Library of Congress system. Outside Alden Library and directly behind Cutler Hall is Wolfe Garden, a small enclave in the shape of the State of Ohio, and features native Ohio trees and plants, providing a pleasant spot for contemplation..
East Green[edit]
There are twelve residence halls on East Green.[33] This area of the university includes three of the steepest walkways at the hilly Athens campus and is the oldest residential green: Morton Hill, the Bryan Hall terrace and staircase, and Jefferson Hill. Each walkway is well-lit[citation needed] and affords East Green residents easy access[citation needed] to classrooms if they are willing to walk or bicycle. The East Green's Scott Quad, as lore maintains, is a residence hall that provides for a successful relationship to those who kiss beneath its gateway arch.[citation needed]
South Green[edit]
South Green includes areas near Emeriti Park, and extends along the Hocking River valley. There are twenty-four residence halls on South Green, following the addition of four new residence halls in the summer of 2015.[34][35]
The South Green is home to several facilities, including:
Peden Stadium, the University's football field and the oldest football venue in the Mid-American conference, adjacent to a new multipurpose indoor training facility, Walter Fieldhouse. It is a designated Official Ohio Historical Site, after an alumnus, Michael Massa, suggested its nomination to the Ohio Historical society.
Bird Arena, home of the Ohio University Hockey Program.
Ohio University Aquatic Center, home to the university's swimming and diving teams.
Charles J. Ping Recreation Center[edit]
The Charles J. Ping Center is one of the largest recreational facilities in the nation.[citation needed] Covering 168,000 square feet (15,600 m2) on three floors, Ping houses a 36-foot (11 m), double-sided climbing wall, five basketball/volleyball courts, two multipurpose gymnasiums, an elevated four-lane indoor running track, eight racquetball courts and an enclosed glass fitness area. Ping Center also provides free weight and cardio rooms, aerobics and fitness classes, combative sports, dance, meeting rooms and personal training.[citation needed] The recreation center also houses club sports and intramural sports. Construction began in 1994 and it opened in January 1996. Ping was named in honor of the 18th president of Ohio University, Charles J. Ping. Ping is also one of the largest student employers on campus.
West Green[edit]
West Green includes buildings around the western part of the Athens campus.[36] The Ohio Athletic Mall spans the western portion of the campus, near the end of the Athens bike path at the Union street crossing. The mall features lacrosse, baseball, track, field and related athletic venues. Along the surrounding Hocking River is a series of sakura trees planted to commemorate the university's historic partnership with Chubu University. Japanese Students sponsor an annual "Sakura Festival" each year, a cultural event celebrating the visually dramatic
blossoming of the cherry trees and their evening lightings.
Anchoring the West Green quadrangle is the Stocker Center, which houses the Russ College of Engineering.
There are eight residence halls on the West Green.[37] The West Green also includes:
- Academic and Research Center
Ohio Softball Field, home to the softball team.
Goldsberry Track, home to the track and field teams.[38]
Bob Wren Stadium, home to baseball team.
Chessa Field, home to the women's soccer program.
Pruitt Field, home to the field hockey team.
Other facilities[edit]
The Ridges, formerly Athens Asylum, was acquired by the university. The Victorian styled area has since been re-purposed as a university complex of classrooms and administrative offices surrounded by a large nature preserve. Additionally, a new planetary observatory is located nearby.- Gordon K. Bush Airport
- Edwards Accelerator Laboratory,[39] a particle accelerator used for nuclear physics and astrophysics research.
The Athena Cinema, an on-campus, century-old movie theater owned by the university.- Lausche Heating Plant, an on-campus plant that provides heat to all buildings on campus.

The student body mostly hails from the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest and graduated from public high schools. The university is cited for academic quality and value by publications Fortune,[42]U.S. News and World Report,[43]BusinessWeek,[44]Forbes,[45]America's 100 Best College Buys, Princeton Review's Best Colleges, and Peterson's Guide to Competitive Colleges. The John Templeton Foundation has also recognized Ohio University as one of the top character-building institutions in the country.[46]The Chronicle of Higher Education has recognized the university as one of the top producers of U.S. Fulbright scholars by type of institution, with the highest number of recipients in the state as well as the Mid-American Conference in 2011-12.[47] Ohio University was recognized by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs as a top producer of 2014-2015 Fulbright U.S. Students.[48]
The university admits 69% of applicants. Total surveyed student demographic: African-Americans account for 5%;
(1,061); Asian Americans 1.3% (270); Caucasians 84.6% (17,926); Hispanic 1.9% (411); International 6.8% (1,437); and Native American and American Indian 0.4% (77). The university honor code includes the traditional pillars of character, citizenship, civility, commitment, and community.[49] Freshman formally enter the university with their annual convocation and march beneath Alumni Gateway along with university officials.
Ohio faculty has achievements ranging from Francis Bundy's work on early synthesis of diamond[50] to Paul Murray Kendall's celebrated biography of Richard III.[51] Some sense of research achievements at Ohio University can be seen in the biographies of the Edwin and Ruth Kennedy[52] Distinguished Professors[53] appointed annually since 1959.
The total university student enrollment is in excess of 36,000, encompassing its main campus in Athens and regional campuses. The university is divided into several colleges:
Arts and Sciences[edit]
The College of Arts and Sciences is the largest college on the Athens campus with 18 departments and a variety of interdisciplinary programs, research centers, and institutes. The college provides the primary instruction for approximately one-third of the majors on campus and provides the majority of general education courses. At the graduate level, the college offers a variety of masters programs, and eight departments offer doctoral degrees. A range of scholarly pursuits, funded research projects, and creative activities are undertaken by the college's students and faculty.
Incoming students with an ACT of 25 or higher may apply for The Scholars Program in Arts and Sciences. This integrated learning experience allows selected first-year scholars a jump-start towards their academic goals by offering an intensive year-long interaction with highly regarded faculty. Juniors or seniors who maintain at least a 3.5 GPA may be eligible to graduate with "departmental honors." The opportunity to undertake a research project and/or write a thesis is provided by many departments in the College of Arts and Sciences for highly motivated students.
The college offers a diverse set of offerings from natural sciences, social sciences and the humanities, where there are many faculty members of national and international distinction.
Business[edit]
The College of Business was established in 1927. It offers nine different majors and a general business minor for students with non-business majors. Following University-wide restructuring in 2010, it includes the Department of Sports Administration, which offers students an undergraduate degree in Sport Management and three graduate programs. Despite University measures to increase enrollment, the college is smaller than other national business schools, and all business classes are taught by professors instead of graduate students. The college also offers an MBA program for Indian students in Christ University Bangalore. The college requires students take four classes in a 'cluster' format, or simultaneous sequencing. In the cluster, students are teamed up and complete research projects. The students then receive a grade in all four of their classes on the project. This program is an opportunity for students of different majors to interact and is considered a good illustration of how situations are often structured in the business world.[54] The School of Accountancy is nationally recognized. The school promotes the Business Activity Model in its intermediate classes that has proven beneficial. Designed to mimic the experiences of an auditor, accounting students often credit the model with preparing them for internships. One of the authors of business activity model, Connie Esmond-Kiger, was named Director of the School of Accountancy in 2007. She is also the adviser for Ohio's chapter of Beta Alpha Psi, the financial majors fraternity. Ohio's chapter maintains Superior status and has won national awards.[55]
The Schey Sales Centre was initiated in 1997 by the Ohio Board of Trustees and offers a professional sales certificate to students.[56] This certificate is open to any Ohio student, and requires students to complete 28 credit hours of sales classes as well as complete a 300-hour sales internship.[57] Three entities oversee the program: the Professional Sales Advisory Board (PSAB), which is composed of sales professionals who give back to the program with money or advice on the industry changes; the support staff, which includes professors at Ohio University who advise the students in the program; and lastly, a group of students who run the program and they are referred to as The Candidate Advisory Council, which was created in 2004.[58] The centre hosts a sales symposium each spring quarter where professional speakers address market changes, sales strategies and profit. Additionally, sales students took home first place at the National Collegiate Sales Competition in 2009. There are 16 active student organizations functioning within the college. Chapters of three national business fraternities, the Christian Business Leadership organization, and societies or fraternities for almost every major mark these.[59] Copeland Hall, seat of the college, maintains six computer labs and two study lounges with computers, as well as many conference rooms and small group rooms. The college's Student Equity Management Group, started in 2003, uses $3.3 million from the university to invest. Unlike many other schools, Ohio's group is open to all undergraduate students and is completely student run. The group's portfolio has increased by 51.29%, since its inception, beating the S&P 500 by 42.61%.[60] The Candidate Advisory Council is a student-centered organization is run by the students and entirely self-funded. They pay for their classes, professors, events and resources. The university does not assist with any of the financial responsibility. Money is collected from companies who invest in the program solely to recruit the 200+ students working towards a sales certificate.
Communication[edit]
Ohio University Scripps College of Communication comprises five schools and one research lab (see 'Research Centers'): The E.W. Scripps School of Journalism, the J. W. McClure School of Information and Telecommunication Systems, the School of Communication Studies, the School of Media Arts and Studies (formerly the School of Telecommunications), the School of Visual Communication, and the Game Research and Immersive Design (GRID) Lab.
The E.W. Scripps School of Journalism, known colloquially as the J-School or simply Scripps, is recognized as one of the world's premier journalism schools. Undergraduates select from two academic tracks: News and Information, which includes coursework in broadcast news, magazine journalism, news writing and editing, and online journalism, and Strategic Communication, which includes coursework in advertising management, advocacy communication, and public relations.[61] The School of Visual Communication, also known as VisCom, has been recognized twice as a Program of Excellence by the Ohio Board of Regents. The school offers students an interdisciplinary visual communication degree in one of four sequences: informational graphics and page design, photojournalism, commercial photography and interactive multimedia. VisCom is located on the third floor of Seigfred Hall.
The College of Communications also houses Ohio's Speech and Debate Team, the Speaking Bobcats. In existence since the 1900s, the team has competed at every National Forensics Association National Tournament, most American Forensics Association National Individual Events Tournaments, and recently, have become prominent with the Novice National Tournament, Pi Kappa Delta National Conference and Pi Kappa Delta National Comprehensive Tournament. The team has been the top team in Ohio for five consecutive years, and has won two Novice National Tournaments in 2008 and 2011, one Pi Kappa Delta National Conference in 2009, two Pi Kappa National Comprehensive Tournaments in 2010 and 2012, and three NFA National Tournaments in 1971, 1974, and 1975, as well as multiple event championships at all National Tournaments, including several Individual Sweepstakes Championships.
Education[edit]
The Patton College of Education was established in 1959. It has a history dating back to May 11, 1886, with the founding of a Normal Department at Ohio. The Normal Department – the predecessor to today's College of Education – was the first state-supported teacher preparation program in Ohio. The state's first kindergarten opened on the Ohio University campus in 1907. Today, the College of Education is organized into three departments: Counseling and Higher Education, Educational Studies, and Teacher Education. The college currently serves more than 2,100 undergraduate and 800 graduate students.[62] On July 1, 2010, The Patton College became the home of several programs previously housed in the College of Health and Human Services, creating two new departments: Human and Consumer Science Education, and Recreation and Sport Pedagogy.[63]
Engineering and Technology[edit]
Russ College of Engineering and Technology was established in 1920. The college is home to the university's highly ranked programs in the traditional fields of engineering at the undergraduate and graduate level.[64] It enrolls approximately 1,400 undergraduates and almost 300 graduate students. It is named in honor of Dr. Fritz J. Russ, an alumnus in electrical engineering and the founder of Systems Research Laboratories, a major bioengineering concern.[65] The Russ' left the college that bears their name approximately $91.8 million in real estate and securities, though details of how the money will be spent has yet to be determined.[66]
Fine Arts[edit]
The College of Fine Arts was established in 1947. The college offers academic programs in art, dance, film, interdisciplinary arts, music, and theater. The university's marching band, The Ohio University Marching 110, nicknamed "The Most Exciting Band In The Land," is based out of the College of Fine Arts, and is currently under the direction of Dr. Richard Suk, Associate Director of Bands. The Ohio University School of Music celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2017.
The university's film program is located within the School of Dance, Film, and Theater in the College of Fine Arts. The Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) program is a professional three-year program of study for talented individuals seeking advanced training in directing, screenwriting, producing, cinematography, editing and motion picture sound with a solid background in film history, theory, and criticism. The MFA is a terminal degree and is designed for students who wish to work as independent film artists, enter the film industry, or teach at the college or university level. The Master of Arts (M.A.) in Film Studies is a two-year program in film history, analysis, and theory designed to prepare students for further study at the doctoral level or for careers in which a film studies background may be relevant, including film criticism; arts-related writing fields; administration of arts, museum, or academic programs; administrative positions in film or media production; and library, archive, or film preservation work. Coursework includes a two-semester sequence in film history and a range of electives on film theory and criticism, film genres, and, in particular, international cinemas.
The Kennedy Museum of Art, named to honor Edwin L. and Ruth E. Kennedy, is housed at the Ridges in historic Lin Hall. Its collections include southwest Native American textiles, jewelry, and a contemporary collection of prints. The museum offers a wide array of exhibitions, a line-up of educational offerings, tours, and more.

The Honors Tutorial College was established in 1972. It is unique in the United States as a degree granting college based upon the tutorial system distinct from other honors programs at the University. It is ranked among the top 20 honors programs at public universities in the United States.[67] The college is highly selective and has produced a collection of alumni, including Prof. Jairo Sinova,[68] renowned physicist and von Humboldt Professor at the University of Mainz; actress Piper Perabo; Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter Joe Mahr; CBS Sports reporter Allie LaForce; Laura Brege,[69] currently managing director of Cervantes Life Sciences Partners, LLC;[70] John Swartz,[71] who co-produced the Star Wars movies The Force Awakens[72] and Rogue One;[73] and Emmy Award-winning writer and producer Matt Wickline.[74]
It offers programs in 34 disciplines, ranging from journalism to astrophysics. The Office of Nationally Competitive Awards[75] is housed in the college and has guided hundreds of Ohio University undergraduates to Fulbright, Goldwater, National Science Foundation and Marshall awards, among many others.[76]
Leadership and Public Affairs[edit]
The George V. Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs, established in 2007 and dedicated after alumnus and former Ohio Governor and Senator George Voinovich, is built around critical multidisciplinary programs that are primarily engaged in applied service or research in or into the region. The school focuses broadly on three areas: (i) Entrepreneurship and Regional Development, (ii) Policy Innovation and Strategic Leadership, and (iii) Energy and the Environment. In each area, students, faculty, and professional staff participate in a model of multidisciplinary education, blending rigorous classroom instruction and scholarship with applied service to the region, state, and nation. The Voinovich School offers a Masters of Public Administration, a Masters of Science in Environmental Studies, an Undergraduate Certificate in Environmental Studies, and a Graduate Certificate in Sustainability. Collaborative partnerships with other Ohio colleges, Regional Higher Education, and business and government entities in Southeast Ohio and the state are also critical to the school.
The Global Leadership Center[77] offers a two-year undergraduate program in global leadership and accepts high-achieving applicants from any degree program on campus. The program offers students the opportunity to pursue a curriculum that incorporates the features of the traditional classroom setting with real world, global directives and communication. The GLC has recently been affiliated with Bangkok University, several United State Embassies abroad, the UNDP Liberia, Harvard University, Marriott International and numerous other government, NGO, and private organizations around the world. In 2009, the Center was recognized at the United Nations as one of the country's premier International programs.[78]Omicron Delta Kappa, the national and international leadership honorary, serves as the organization which recognizes student leaders who have contributed to the life and student body at Ohio University.
The university is well known in Malaysia for its ties with MARA University of Technology from the 1980s.
Medical and Graduate Studies[edit]
The Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine was established in 1975.[79] It is currently the only osteopathic medical college in the state, and offers the degree Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.). The college is accredited by the American Osteopathic Association.[80] In 1993, Barbara Ross-Lee, D.O., was appointed to the position of dean of the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine; she was the first African-American woman to serve as the dean of a U.S. medical school.[81] As of the 2011-2012 academic year, there were 493 students enrolled.
In 2012, the college established agreements to build two new medical school extension campuses. Through a partnership with OhioHealth, a class of 50 OU-HCOM students will begin training in Dublin, Ohio, by August 2014.[82] In Cleveland, Ohio, the Cleveland Clinic and OU-HCOM plan to train 32 students by July, 2015, at the Clinic's South Pointe Hospital.[83]
The Graduate College is the college for graduate students at Ohio. The college includes over thirty areas of post-baccalaureate concentrations, and awards M.A., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees.

Ohio University also has one extension campus:
Dublin, Ohio (with buildings operated by the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine and the Ohio University College of Health Sciences and Professions)
Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine operates two campuses in addition to Athens:
Dublin, Ohio (the medical campus is located within the larger Ohio University extension campus)

Athletics[edit]
University sports began in 1894 with an 8–0 loss to Marietta College in football. The university competes in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) at the Division I level and is a charter member of the Mid-American Conference (MAC), established in 1946, and remains the sole charter member competing in the conference. University intercollegiate athletics include six men's squads and eight women's squads. At the national level, Ohio University defeated 4th-seeded Michigan in the 2012 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament. They followed up that with a 62–56 win over 12th-seeded South Florida, reaching the Sweet Sixteen for the first time since 1964.
The Bobcats football team plays in the horseshoe-shape 28,000-seat capacity Peden Stadium, the oldest stadium in the Mid-American Conference, which features a student academic center that doubles as a ticket and hospitality concourse during football games. Peden is an officially designated Ohio Historical Site. The 13,080-seat Convocation Center serves as home to the university's men's and women's basketball and women's volleyball teams. All university sporting events are open to students at no additional charge.[103]
Ohio's men's and women's athletics teams compete under the official colors of hunter green and white. The school mascot is Rufus the Bobcat, and a life-sized sculpture of a bobcat stands poised at the entrance to Peden Stadium. The mascot name "Rufus" was selected via a campus-wide election, after an alumnus, Michael A. Massa, made the suggestion to the university.
Club sports[edit]
There are 36 active club sports programs at Ohio, run out of the Department of Campus Recreation. Club sports include sports for both genders, including co-ed sports.[104][105] Teams are assigned to instructional, white, green, or red tier depending on the number of members of the team, dues collecting, funds raised, and community service hours completed. The higher tier the sport is in, the more money that the team receives from the school and also the higher priority that team gets.
- The Ohio University Fencing Club is a club with four scoring machines and fencers of all weapons.[106]
- The Ohio University Wakeboard and Waterski team is a club[107] that competes in three competitions in the fall. Its opponents include Miami University of Ohio, Bowling Green State University, Purdue University, and the University of Michigan.
Student activities[edit]
Media[edit]
Students operate a newspaper, television, and radio stations at Ohio University. The main newspaper, The Post, publishes in print five days a week and online all days of the week while the university is in session, and is officially independent of the university and its administration.
Ohio University Public Television is a PBS affiliate broadcasting on WOUB Athens/WOUC Cambridge. In addition to national PBS programs, WOUB features Newswatch, a nightly news broadcast with student reporters. Other student produced programs include Gridiron Glory (following the Southeastern Ohio and parts of West Virginia high school football season, the recipient of many Emmys) and Bobcat Blitz (following the Ohio Bobcats during the year). WOUB also airs The OUtlet,[108] a radio show and podcast featuring stories wherever "campus meets community."
Wired for Books, an online educational project of the WOUB Center for Public Media, has received several awards.
WOUB-FM 91.3 Athens, WOUC-FM 89.1 Cambridge, WOUH-FM 91.9 Chillicothe, WOUL-FM 89.1 Ironton, and WOUZ-FM 90.1 Zanesville broadcast the same programs throughout southeastern Ohio. Separate public radio programming is also heard in Athens on WOUB AM 1340. ACRN ("The Rock Lobster"), founded in 1971, is an Internet radio-only station and the university's only student-run radio station.[109]
Ohio University has an amateur radio (also known as ham radio) club, the Ohio University Amateur Radio Club, call sign W8PZS, that operates out of Stocker Center.[110]
The university also publishes Compass,[111] the institution's official online news and information resource.
Service[edit]
Students maintain a variety of organized and independent service events.[112] The Community Service Leadership Council involves students to oversee a Project of the Week every Saturday. The projects have included work with Good Earth Farms, Last Chance Corral, Cadillac Ranch, Habitat for Humanity, Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Phi Omega, Pi Beta Phi, Project C, Rotaract, the Survivor Advocacy Program, and the Thursday Supper Volunteer Corps, among others. Charities at Ohio University have involved flag football tournaments and the 5K Flour Run, and have benefited O'Bleness Health System's Women's Health Fund and the Athens Backpack Program, respectively. Student Senate's Beautification Day regularly receives a large turnout and is particularly unique in the Spring.[113] In early 1962, President Vernon Alden signed the first of several contracts with the federal government to facilitate Peace Corps volunteer training programs. Today, Ohio University hosts a recruiting office for the Peace Corps in a tradition affiliated with that organization since Sargent Shriver's visit.[114]
Law enforcement[edit]
Like many universities in Ohio, Ohio University maintains its own police department.[115] Operating out of Scott Quadrangle, the Ohio University Police Department (OUPD) is a fully-fledged, independent law enforcement agency with 31 sworn officers, five dispatchers, and two administrative support personnel.[116] They have patrol and investigative divisions, two explosive detective canine teams,[117] a SWAT team,[118] and are members of the Athens-Hocking-Fairfield Major Crimes Unit.[119]
OUPD was certified with the Ohio Collaborative on January 27, 2017.[120]
