Requirements/Deadlines
   
 
Do I need to finish all of the prerequisite courses before I apply?
Each Professional Program has a deadline that stipulates when prerequisite courses should be completed. However, many applicants are still working on their prerequisite courses during the application process. Please check the program’s website for more information: http://professional.osu.edu.


How can I find out about the prerequisite courses required by each professional program?
Information about each program’s required prerequisite coursework can be obtained from their websites. You can find the program of your interest from the following website: http://professional.osu.edu.

How can I find out if I have fulfilled the prerequisite coursework required by my program?
As a service to prospective applicants who are NOT already attending OSU, the Professional Admissions Office will evaluate previous coursework completed at other institutions to determine if prerequisites for the designated Professional Program have already been completed. You can download the Prerequisite Evaluation Form at: http://professional.osu.edu/profpdf/PrereqEval.pdf. You may complete, print, and mail to: The Ohio State University, Professional Admissions, P.O. Box 182003, Columbus, OH 43218-2003. Official transcripts should be submitted as well.


Is it necessary to submit all the required documents by the deadline?
Most of the programs require all documents to be submitted by the deadline. However, in some cases programs allow flexibility with documents such as transcripts or references. Please note that it is always a good idea to have all required documents submitted by the deadline. In this way, you will ensure that your file will be ready for review in a timely manner.
