The Graduate College coordinates graduate study at Ohio University.
Ohio University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) (formerly the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, Commission on Institutions of Higher Education). While some of the University’s academic programs are accredited by over 30 of their own specialized accreditors, Ohio University as a whole is accredited by HLC; all of the University’s programs and units are covered by this institutional-wide accreditation. HLC offers three different pathways to institutional accreditation. They are the Standard Pathway, the Open Pathway, and the Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP) pathway. Ohio University has been in AQIP since 2002. The next Reaffirmation of Ohio University’s accreditation is scheduled for 2023-24.
