Internationalization

The Ohio State University believes that a global university is one in which international experiences and perspectives are fully integrated into its teaching, research and engagement mission, and that if universities are to prosper, they must be global in orientation, reach and reputation.

Ohio State has a rich and vibrant history of global engagement and recognizes that the success of our graduates is enhanced by our global reach. Through innovative approaches, Ohio State prepares its students and supports its faculty to be actively involved in and contribute to knowledge-based collaborations around the world. As a modern, land-grant institution in the 21st century, Ohio State’s role is to:

• Create and discover knowledge to improve the well-being of our state, regional, national,
  and global communities
• Prepare a diverse student body to be leaders and engaged citizens
• Provide a student-centered learning experience enhanced by a globally diverse
  student body
• Contribute toward solutions of the world’s most pressing problems
• Ensure reciprocity with the citizens and institutions of Ohio, the nation, and the world
