At Ohio State, research in the arts and design is expanding
at a very rapid pace. The creation of art and design continuously takes

We are fortunate to be a College of the Arts within a major research institution.
It is part of our mission and our culture to be adventurous and entrepreneurial,
and to seek new challenges and new knowledge. We invite you to visit the
following special units of the college:
