What is Scholars?

The Ohio State Scholars Program offers academically motivated students the chance to meet and live with other students who share similar interests and career goals. Each of the fourteen programs is centered on a particular theme or area of study and open to students regardless of their intended major. Living together their freshman year, Scholars attend select classes together and create a close-knit community. The Scholars Programs are designed to complement your academic experience with a wide variety of opportunities to learn outside of the classroom; many students choose programs that are not directly related to their intended major.

You’ll benefit from:
  • Thematic learning communities in Scholars housing
  • Personalized advising and staff support
  • Enriched study approaches such as seminars, workshops and topical co-curricular programs
  • Enrollment in selected courses with other Scholars students
  • Special Scholars short-term study abroad programs
  • College-level priority course scheduling (select classes at the beginning of your rank)
