Resources

As an additional service to Ohio high schools, the Council of Admission Officers of the Ohio Public Universities has developed a presentation which provides an overview of Ohio’s university system. If your school sponsors a program where this presentation would be appropriate, please contact the Director/Dean of Admission at the nearest state university in order to arrange for a speaker.
