Why visit Ohio University?

A survey of our undergraduate majors showed that the campus visit was the most important factor in their decision to attend Ohio University. The campus is beautiful and the research facilities are excellent. The "feel" of the campus environment and seeing the research opportunities first-hand is the best way to determine if the Department of Physics & Astronomy at Ohio University is the right place for you.

What is a typical schedule for a visit?

You will meet one-on-one with several professors and have a chance to discuss the lifestyle of a student and the career opportunities for our majors. You will also tour some of our research facilities, such as the Edwards Accelerator Lab, the most powerful particle accelerator in the state of Ohio.
