The Ohio State University's main Columbus campus is one of America's largest and most comprehensive. More than 55,000 students select from 14 colleges, 160 undergraduate majors, and 240 master's, doctoral, and professional degree programs. As Ohio's best and one of the nation's top-20 public universities, Ohio State is further recognized by a top-rated academic medical center and a premier cancer hospital and research center.

The university's total research expenditures in 2009 topped $716 million, putting Ohio State in the top 10 nationally, second in industry research, and seventh among public universities, according to the National Science Foundation. The university's innovative prowess attains world-class status, particularly in critical areas such as global climate change, cancer, infectious disease, advanced materials, and ag-bio products that feed and fuel the world.

An additional 8,200 students attend Ohio State's regional campuses in Lima, Mansfield, Marion, and Newark, and the Agricultural Technical Institute in Wooster. Founded as a federal land-grant institution in 1870, the university has awarded 608,220 degrees since 1878. Its legacy extends to more than 465,000 living alumni.
