General information about Ohio State

English is the language of instruction

Within higher education, institutions often waive the requirement for documenting the language of instruction from an American institution. For international admissions purposes, higher educational institutions have an understanding that institutions from certain countries only teach in one specified language.

Degree requirements

Degree requirements are maintained by the student’s college office of enrollment. Only the student’s college office can verify when a student is projected to complete their degree requirements, if they have completed their degree requirements before a degree was awarded, or that they will be awarded a degree before the degree is awarded.
