General Application Procedures

To apply, you should have a 3.0 undergraduate grade-point average (GPA) on a 4.0 scale, although other factors—professional experience, portfolio, or test results, for example—may qualify you for admission if your GPA is lower.

Submit completed application forms, the application fee, and two official transcripts from each post-secondary institution attended to the Office of Graduate Student Services, Ohio University, McKee House, Athens, OH 45701-2979.

International students from non-English-speaking countries are required to achieve a TOEFL score of 600 (written test) or computer equivalent.

You must also submit three letters of recommendation, a resume, a non-returnable digital portfolio of your work (Mac-compatible CD-ROM, with jpeg images at 72ppi not larger than 800x600 pixels), and a statement of 500 words or less about why you want to attend graduate school to the Director, School of Visual Communication, Ohio University, 301 Seigfred Hall, Athens, OH 45701-2979.

  • The final date for application is February 1.
  • International student deadline (preferred) is December 15.
  • Applicants are usually notified by March 15.
Materials should be sent well in advance of the due date; only complete applications are considered. A campus visit prior to the application deadline is strongly recommended.
