Major in Pursuing Communication at Ohio State University Newark
The primary criteria for admission to Ohio State are
completion of the applicant’s high school college
preparatory program, performance in that program as
indicated by class rank and/or grade point average, and
performance on either the ACT or SAT.
Upon admission to the university and completion of the
pre-major requirements, students may apply for admission
to the communication program. (Honors students may
be admitted directly into the major.) Prior to application,
students must have completed 45 hours of course work
at Ohio State including the following courses: Comm 101,
Comm 200, and Statistics 135 or 145 (see www.comm.ohiostate.
edu for application materials). Transfer students will
be considered after completing pre-major courses and a
minimum of 30 graded hours at Ohio State.
The School of Communication will review applications to
the communication major each quarter. If the number of
applicants exceeds the number of available spaces in the
three communication programs, enrollment will be based
on student’s cumulative grade point average.
