Ohio University

Founded more than 200 years ago, Ohio University is the oldest public institution of higher learning in the state of Ohio and the first in the Northwest Territory. Students of Ohio University benefit from all the resources and advantages associated with a top-ranked university and still receive the personal attention and consideration that is vital to higher education.

Ohio University has been engaging in lifelong and distance learning practices for over 100 years. The distance learning department has used that time to progress within the field and develop state-of-the-art programs that offer specific support resources to students and equip them with highly valuable skills and competencies that are important to today's employers.
