On Tuesday the University System of Ohio (USO) Board of Regents confirmed what many at Ohio University have known for years - the Scripps College is extraordinary.
The Scripps College of Communication at Ohio University has been named a Center of Excellence in Culture and Societal Transformation for the state of Ohio, the only college of communication to receive such a designation.
The Scripps College is exceptional in the state and the nation because of its combined breadth and excellence. It is home to professional programs, engineering-based fields of study, humanistic and social scientific disciplines, and applied arts and has already attracted more than $54 million in grants, contracts, awards, investments and donations.
Even more critically, that excellence continues to provide students with a world-class education leading them to a total of 75 national awards and recognitions.
President Roderick J. McDavis said the designation as a Center of Excellence will bring more attention to the outstanding programs at the college and bring even more notice to the efforts of faculty, students and alumni.
The Board of Regents has received three applications for Centers of Excellence from Ohio University and has approved each of them.
There is currently only one other stand-alone Center of Excellence in the USO. For Scripps, the designation affirms the high quality of faculty, their work, and the superior quality and efforts of the students who graduate.
