Format

Courses are delivered through Canvas, OSU’s online learning platform. Online courses are taught asynchronously so students can fit them more flexibly into their schedules.  

 

Curriculum

Students work with the Graduate College advisor and the advisory committee to specify the courses. Up to nine graduate hours can be transferred from a regionally-accredited graduate program with consent of the advisory committee. Students who wish to be 100% online should first ensure their fields of study are available fully online. The student chooses one of the following master's degree plans:

 

1. a 30 hour plan, including a six-hour research thesis;
2. a 32-hour plan, which may include no more than three hours of research with a grade of "SR." May include a culminating experience (e.g., final report, internship, practicum, comprehensive exam, and portfolio or capstone project).

Admissions

An undergraduate grade-point average of 3.00 is required for unqualified admission. Students with a grade-point average between 2.50 and 3.00 may be admitted with academic notice. Before applying, students who wish to attend fully online, should ensure their desired classes are offered online. 

To apply: 

• Complete the Graduate College application and include:
• A cover letter indicating the personal goals and professional objectives to be obtained from the program.
• Transcripts from all schools previously attended.
• Three letters of recommendation from persons who can describe abilities, interest, and motivation as a student.
• A proposed course of study, i.e. a list of graduate level courses endorsed by an OSU faculty advisor. 
• No test scores are required.
• Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
