INFORMATION FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS
< Home < Future Students < Graduate Students


Graduate programs at The Ohio State University are administered through the Graduate School.

Unlike many universities, the application process at Ohio State is a "decentralized" and “centralized”, in which students apply through the Admissions Office, and through their specific program, NOT through the Graduate school.

Generally, students send all of their application materials to the Graduate Admissions Office, which then forwards the completed application to the specific program. All questions concerning general admissions procedures should be directed to the Office of Admissions. For specific program requirements, contact the department in which you wish to conduct your graduate studies. It is recommended that you contact the department in which you are interested in studying prior to them receiving all of your materials from the Office of Admissions. Because the application process is somewhat lengthy, this allows the department to offer you information about their programs and plan in advance for assistantships.

Applicants for admission to any graduate program must fulfill the admission criteria established by both the Graduate School and the Graduate Studies Committee of the particular academic unit to which admission is sought. General inquiries and requests for application materials should be addressed to the Admissions Office. Inquiries concerning admission criteria of a particular academic unit should be addressed to the Graduate Studies Committee Chairperson.
