If you want to challenge yourself with a rigorous academic program, the Honors College offers smaller discussion-based classes with other intellectually driven students.
OSU was founded on the land-grant mission of education, research, and outreach. Research is a priority for faculty and students. The Fresh-man Research Scholars Program—a program offered only at select campuses around the US—allows undergraduate students to perform research alongside faculty members as early as their freshman year. OSU students can create and monitor research projects, gain hands-on experience, and grow academically to become competitive for post-graduation careers.
The Henry Bellmon Office of Scholar Development and Undergraduate Research also serves as a great resource to students interested in enriching their college experience. This office helps students apply for several national academic and leadership awards. Sixteen OSU students have been named Truman Scholars, demonstrating how OSU helps students reach their goals and encourages them to work in public service.
What about after graduation?
OSU can help you further your education beyond an undergraduate degree through advising for Pre-health, Pre-veterinary, and Pre-law programs. OSU’s Center for Veterinary Health Sciences tops national rankings in value for the cost of an education in veterinary medicine. The OSU College of Osteopathic Medicine has been consistently ranked among the best medical allopathic and osteopathic schools in the US.
The Wall Street Journal ranked OSU one of the nation’s top schools for preparing graduates for success. Finding a career path and a successful job after graduation can be challenging. But OSU’s Career Services can help you develop critical job-hunting skills. Through Career Services you can practice your interview techniques, learn how to polish a résumé, and write a cover letter.
At OSU, you will have opportunities to network with professionals through various events centering on career development. OSU Career Services holds several career fairs on campus that can help you land that perfect position even before graduation.
