Your future starts here

When you start at a regional campus, you open the door to unlimited possibilities.

Our regional campuses are Ohio State, delivered differently. A little more accessible. A little more personal. A little more convenient. But still offering you the opportunity to shape a future as big as your dreams.

Total access

As a regional campus student, you have access to all of the university’s vast resources, including libraries, research facilities, student activities and countless other benefits.

Complete a degree or campus-change to Columbus

At the Lima, Mansfield, Marion and Newark campuses, you can:

  • Complete your entire degree program in several majors

  • Complete first- and second-year course work for many of Ohio State’s engineering degree programs

  • Complete one to three years' (depending on the major) worth of course work toward one of Ohio State’s 200+ bachelor’s degree programs before transitioning to Columbus to finish your degree

At Ohio State ATI in Wooster, you can complete one of 28 career-focused associate degree and certificate programs that can be combined to match specific career goals. You can also start any of Ohio State's 200+ majors at Ohio State ATI and then campus-change to Columbus to finish your degree once you've met the prerequisites.
