We will consider your academic background and English language ability to make sure you are taking the right classes and staying on track for an on time graduation. For students who need a little extra help we have free tutoring and learning spaces as well as out of the classroom experiences to help you to meet other students and get to know American culture. At OSU we encourage students to carve their own path, while we support you every step of the way. With several routes to admission, we'll help you find the right entry point and level of support.
