University & Community
The Ohio State University is one of the largest universities in the world. Despite the university's size and the broad range of its activities, faculty members in a particular discipline develop friendly relationships among themselves and with their students. Most classes in our program are small, and all of our students are in residence on a full-time basis.
At Ohio State, you will be using the 16th largest library system in the United States and have computer access to a collection totaling 4.6 million printed volumes and 2.7 million microforms. The business library collection is located at the main library, Thompson Library. It holds collections pertinent to most of the disciplines of the humanities and social sciences, general reference, microform and newspaper collections, and a rare book and manuscript collection. The library system also includes 24 separately housed libraries.
Located near the center of the state, the city of Columbus has over 570,000 residents and a metropolitan area population of 1.4 million. The city offers many of the advantages of a major metropolitan area, including a major airport, excellent restaurants, a symphony, a ballet company, theatres, museums, and art galleries. Despite its size, Columbus still retains much of the charm and simplicity of a small midwestern city, with many attractive residences, schools, and churches. The metropolitan park system, in place for over 100 years, features many bike paths and jogging trails.
