In 2010, The Ohio State University united five historic colleges to form the College of Arts and Sciences, a bold move that redefined the liberal arts at a leading public university. Today, we celebrate a legacy of innovation and impact: from Nobel Prizes and groundbreaking research to new interdisciplinary programs and vibrant community partnerships. As we honor our past, we look ahead with purpose, continuing to prepare students for lives of meaning, leadership and limitless possibility.
This milestone belongs to all of us; alumni, faculty, students and friends who have shaped the journey.
Come celebrate with us and help imagine what’s next.
