The College of Business Commitment to Diversity
The College of Business is committed to a curriculum that helps students acquire knowledge and experiences in a diverse and global society. Their classes and teams helps them form a deeper understanding of the complexities of differing cultural perspectives that impact policies, laws and resources.
Ohio University encourages the sharing of knowledge and experiences, the acquisition of cultural competencies, the celebration and appreciation of the human spirit, regardless of its packaging.
The University's historical dedication to a diverse learning community extends back to OHIO's founding in the early 1800s. It is a point of pride in our history that John Newton Templeton, the fourth African American in the nation to earn a college degree, graduated from Ohio University in 1828. He graduated from the university 37 years before the Emancipation Proclamation.
Few universities can boast the impressive legacy of diversity enjoyed by OHIO. Here, diversity is not an initiative. It is a commitment renewed every day.
