Dear XXXXXX, Did you know that U.S. News & World Report ranks Ohio University among the top 2% of public American universities and 4th in the nation for graduation rate performance? Founded in 1804, OU represents over 200 years of academic excellence, and you can be a part of it! Just look at what we have to offer you: Distinctive programs of study:You can choose from more than 170 master's and 50 doctoral programs in areas ranging from visual arts, to telecommunications, international affairs, engineering, education, business, and more. Many programs provide hands-on experience working with real-world applications and providing opportunities for internships. You are sure to find something to meet your needs among our highly ranked programs. According to Im Sothearith, a Telecommunications student from Cambodia,"Programs are largely interdisciplinary in nature...You are given an exposure that enables you to identify your area of particular interest and the resources to undertake really focused research work." Outstanding faculty:OU faculty members are among the best in their fields and you have opportunities to work with them on cutting-edge research and creative work. Timothy Adivilah, an African Studies and Political Science student from Ghana says, "Not only are professors here masters of their areas, they also make masters of us students. In class, everybody freely participates with confidence while the masters guide the ship." A supportive intellectual community:Ann Schneider, an International Affairs student from Germany, puts it best,"I have found that there is a special atmosphere of learning and studying in a community--together with friends and classmates--that makes the OU experience really different from those I had at other universities where I have studied." We will begin accepting applications for Masters and PhD programs for the 2009-2010 academic year after September 1, 2008. At that time, you will be emailed a code that allows you to apply online FREE before December 1, 2008. If you are still hoping to apply for the 2008-2009 academic year, you may still have time, but you will have to act QUICKLY! Many program application deadlines have already passed for Fall 2008, BUT some departments do have later application deadlines, may accept late applications and/or may accept applications for the winter or spring 08-09 terms. Please check with your program of interest to determine if they are still able to accept applications. A listing of degree programs with links to their websites can be found at <http://www.ohio.edu/graduate/programs.cfm>. Or email me at [email protected] for assistance. And, if you apply before April 1, 2008,* you can apply for free, saving you $55. You can complete your application at http://www.ohio.edu/graduate/apply.cfm. Then enter your application fee waiver code (which you received in a previous email) at the bottom of page 5 of the application, in the box labeled 'Administrative Use Only'. (If you no longer have your code, please email me at [email protected].)*PLEASE NOTE: the program to which you are applying may have an application deadline earlier than April 1, so be sure to check this! If you have questions, feel free to get in touch with me.
