Undergraduate research
If you're interested in doing research, very few places can match Ohio State 's breadth of opportunity. In fact, more than 1,000 undergraduates receive government or industrial sponsorship to do research each year. And research isn't just for students in the sciences; any student at Ohio State can take advantage of our high ranking research status.
