Academics
At Ohio Northern University, incoming undergraduates benefit from the school's first-year curriculum seminars. Available in most areas of study, the program offers regular one-onone time with professors and encourages opportunities for collaborative education while even presenting some of the faculty's own research in the field. The seminars help forge a bond between the students and the "renowned faculty" at ONU, who are "always available to help," "very friendly and down to earth," and "are outstanding and all influential in their field." ONU offers five colleges with a variety of programs, including "a great political science program [that] has sent many students to graduate school and politics," with 94% finding placement within six months of graduation. Students also point out that the "accounting program is highly ranked" and "the engineering college is great." One of the biggest draws is the university's Raabe College of Pharmacy, a "prestigious" educational track that "is focused on developing the next generation of clinical pharmacists who are well-rounded leaders, clinicians, and members of society." It offers direct entry into pharmaceutical careers with patient experiences available in the first year of study. The programs and opportunities offered at ONU add up to "a top-notch education." As one student remarks, ONU's "classes are tough, no doubt about it," but "my overall academic experience has been above and beyond anything I could've expected."
