Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus

Unique Programs

Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus rounds out its academic program with a group of courses called Independent and Distance Learning. Included under this umbrella are correspondence courses, allowing students to operate on a highly personalized schedule. Coursework is sent to the student and over the course of eight months, a list of objectives must be completed. Along with assignments that must be posted by fax, email or traditional mail, some examinations in-person are required. The learning experience is enhanced by audio and other supplementary materials, which are often excluded in a traditional classroom setting due to lack of time. With the classes rolling on through the year, students can explore a new subject far away from the bustle of any campus.

Online courses are another nontraditional offering from Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus. All materials between professor and student are exchanged through email and downloads. The list of online courses is extensive, with such offering as specific as Instrument System Regulations and Procedures, a primer on navigation systems. A wide variety of Humanities courses are also available: the catalog offers courses in literary and critical theory, Rhetoric, Classic American Literature and more. The business world is also well represented, with Macro and Microeconomics as well as Small Business Operations coming in online offerings.

In a world where the normal methods of instruction no longer apply for every student, Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus has taken steps toward making education possible in many different formats. As the campus originally opened in response to a need at the time, so is the modern college proving fit to adapt to the times.
