Important note for transfer students
Transfer students must
complete a minimum of 45 quarter
(30 semester) hours of upper-division course work in their majors at Ohio State in order to graduate with an Ohio State degree. Students at other universities who have already completed upper-
division course work in their majors should seriously consider finishing their degrees at their current university and may wish to consider graduate degree programs at Ohio State. |
