Applying to graduate school at Ohio State is not difficult, but there
are some things about the process we'd like you to know.
*To learn more about specific graduate program admission requirements, visit Ohio State's Graduate Program Information site.
- When you apply for admission to graduate school, you submit your application and all other required materials* to Ohio State's Graduate Admissions Office.
- After the graduate school receives all of your information, it will forward your application to the graduate studies chair of the program to which you applied.
- Departmental faculty review applications and reach an admission decision. They forward their decision to the university. At that time, the university accepts or denies admission based on the department's recommendation and university standards.
