Students at The Ohio Foundation of Independent College's (OFIC) 34 member institutions enjoy many unique advantages. Below is more information about our member colleges and the 100,000 students that attend these independent higher education institutions each year.
Ohio's independent colleges and universities are highly regarded and supported financially by the leading businesses and foundations in Ohio. OFIC colleges:
- Are accessible. Our 34 member institutions strive to hold down costs by collaborating to share expenses, particularly in the area of technology, and they are mission-driven to provide outstanding educational opportunities for all students regardless of socioeconomic background.
- Offer a wide spectrum of choices in area of study to both traditional and non-traditional students in a variety of formats - classroom, online, weekend and satellite programs.
- Are diverse, varying in size from 600 students to more than 10,000. Campuses are located in small rural areas as well as in large urban settings. Diversity within student bodies is also in evidence, as students come from a variety of backgrounds, ethnicity and age groups.
- Promote community involvement by providing a pool of competent volunteers, employment in the community, outreach programs to elementary and secondary schools, and bright, capable interns for industry.
Ohio's independent colleges and universities are shaping the leaders of tomorrow and providing them with unique skill sets that allow them to think critically and advance in today's ever more "demanding" work force.
- Students at OFIC member colleges enjoy a 13:1 student/faculty ratio that allows for close interaction between professor and student. A wide variety of guidance services, a campus community atmosphere, and dedicated faculty and staff contribute to a highly personal education experience.
- Students acquire skills such as proficiency in evolving technologies and achieve competency in chosen areas of study.
- OFIC member colleges endow their students with a sense of accountability, commitment to community, and the ethics and values of social responsibility.
