Is the college converting from quarters to semesters?

Yes, the college will complete the conversion to semesters as of August 2012. Starting Fall 2012 the academic calendar will reflect a semester timeline.

As Ohio moves to the University System of Ohio (USO), the Governor has set forth an initiative that all public institutions are required to change from quarters to semesters. This change will enable better transfer of credits, a common calendar with other public institutions in Ohio, and an earlier end to the academic year.

Do you have career assistance to help me choose a major?
