New campus, same you.

Your next chapter starts here.

Many College of Pharmacy students begin their Buckeye journey at one of Ohio State’s regional campuses before continuing their path toward a pharmacy degree in Columbus.

If you're planning to transition to the Columbus campus, your first step is to meet with your regional campus advisor. They'll help you navigate the campus change process, ensure you're on track with the right prerequisites, and provide the support you need — so your transition is as smooth as a well-prepared prescription.

How do I complete my Pharmaceutical Sciences degree starting on a regional campus?

These sample degree plans show you how you can complete your degree in Columbus after 1-2 years on a regional campus. This plan can easily be customized to fit your timeline, needs and reflect any previously earned credit. Please reach out to cop-admissions@osu.edu if you would like to discuss specifics with a staff member!

Join the Pharmacy Living-Learning Community

The Phamacy Living-Learning Community at Ohio State offers regional campus students a supportive and pharmacy-focused environment designed to foster academic success, professional development, and connection with peers who share a passion for healthcare and drug discovery. Benefits include mentorship from faculty and professionals, hands-on learning experiences, and living in Morrison Tower – just a short walk from Parks Hall, where the College of Pharmacy resides.

Rising second-year students planning to live on the Columbus campus must complete the Living-Learning Community Application by February 15 and submit their housing contract or reselection form by the Housing and Residence Education deadline. Campus change students must contact Housing by February 1 to be eligible for LLC housing — reach out to housing@osu.edu or reslearn@osu.edu for assistance.

  • My time at Ohio State Mansfield was a very valuable experience. The smaller campus as well as the more personalized learning experience made it easy to adjust to college life as well as build stronger study habits. The amazing counselors and staff also made the actual transfer process very simple and streamlined as well!

  • Entering college as a young graduate, I felt uncertain about starting on a large campus, but beginning at the Newark campus made the transition easier by providing smaller classes, a supportive environment, and meaningful faculty connections. That foundation prepared me well for Columbus, where I was able to use that confidence and preparation to excel in the BSPS program.
