About

Ohio University Lancaster is best known for providing an affordable, accessible gateway to a respected degree, combining the resources of Ohio University with the personalized feel of a regional commuter campus. Academic offerings are anchored by strong programs in nursing, education, business management, and criminal justice, allowing students to earn associate and bachelor’s degrees locally or transition seamlessly to the main campus in Athens. Campus life is close-knit and supportive, defined by small class sizes, active student organizations, and cultural programming at the campus’s Wagner Theatre. A distinct advantage is the OHIO Guarantee, which locks in tuition and fees to provide students with transparent, cost-effective access to a premier public university education.
