Ohio State colleges and schools and
enrollment criteria
All academic major programs at Ohio State are offered by degree-granting colleges or schools. If you are eligible for admission to Ohio State, your academic record will be reviewed for eligibility to enroll in your major area of interest.
The academic requirements for each degree-granting college and school are listed below. Applicants must meet the stated criteria in addition to meeting the requirements for admissibility to Ohio State.
Students who enroll as pre-majors will have additional criteria to meet once they enroll at Ohio State and will not be eligible to enter the major until all prerequisites are met. Some majors are competitive and/or have enrollment limitations, so completion of prerequisites is not a guarantee of enrollment in the major.
To determine which college or school offers your intended major, consult the majors listing at majors.osu.edu. Web links to each of Ohio State’s colleges and schools can be found at undergrad.osu.edu/collegesandschools.html.
