The Northwest Ordinance (formally An Ordinance for the Government of the Territory of the United States North-West of the River Ohio, and also known as the Freedom For the Canadian territory see Northwest Territories. For the northwestern corner of the Lower 48 see Northwestern United States. " In 1797, settlers from Marietta traveled up the Hocking River to establish a location for the school, choosing Athens due to its location directly between Chillicothe (the original capital of Ohio) and Marietta. Marietta is a city in the US state of Ohio and the County seat of Washington County. The Hocking River is a Tributary of the Ohio River in southeastern Ohio in the United States.

Baker University Center
The newly constructed John Calhoun Baker Center opened in January, 2007. The $65 million dollar student center features Georgian-style architecture and expansive windows throughout the building that offer spectacular views of campus and allow a great deal of natural light to enter. In contrast to the exterior's red brick, and white columns, the interior has a more contemporary style. The interior has high ceilings, ergonomic furniture and a color scheme of sage, plum and mocha.
The six-story student center contains a large food court (West 82), a fine dining restaurant (Latitude 39), a ballroom, student shop, coffee shop, theater, many study areas, several computer labs, administrative offices, and other amenities connected by three sets of escalators that gives it very much a mall feel.
The "Main Street effect" is something planners prepared for from the start – by incorporating an escalator system (the only one in Athens County) to carry people through the atrium that cuts through the building and connects the upper and lower portions of the campus. This design feature earned the facility mention in a 2006 Association of College Unions International book as a best practice. [1]
In 2007, Baker Center won two Golden Trowel awards from the International Masonry Institute, including the grand prize of Best Project in Ohio for its terrazzo floor art, and another prize for its distinctive interior masonry features. In 2008, the Baker was also awarded the grand-prize with honors from Learning by Design, and organization that recognized excellence in educational facilities, as well as the Facility Design Award from the Association of College Unions International, which annually distinguished excellence in the design of student unions and other student-centered building on college campuses.
Although generally seen as a positive addition, many students on campus see the Baker center as pointless and wasteful. The various university businesses inside are struggling to make money due to poor marketing and high prices.

Academics
Scripps College of Communication
Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes gave a sizeable donation to Ohio University for a renovated student newsroom. Roger Eugene Ailes (born May 15, 1940) is the president of Fox News Channel and chairman of the Fox Television Stations Group. The new facility, set to open in spring of 2008, will double the size of the university's existing newsroom - last upgraded in the 1960s - and allow more students to participate in the school's WOUB radio station and television programs.
Ailes majored in radio and television while at Ohio University and served two years as manager of the school's radio station. Since 1994 he has funded scholarships for Ohio University students in the school's telecommunications programs.
Ailes' fondness for OU is matched by his generosity. Although the size of the donation was not revealed, it was described as substantial. The 67-year-old credits the school with making him the successful man he is today.
"Ohio University ignited my interest in broadcasting, which became my lifetime career. The education I received there gave me the opportunity to take on my first managerial responsibilities and provided early lessons in leadership. I'm happy to contribute to a great university. " Ailes said in a written statement.
The newsroom is a small part of a planned $34. 4 million integrated communication facility for the college. That project is a new building that will have more than 118,000 square feet (11,000 m²) of assignable space, joining the adjacent, vacated former student union with the Radio-Television Building.
E. W. Scripps School of Journalism
One of the flagship programs of Ohio University, the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism, is in the Scripps College of Communication. The EW Scripps School of Journalism is one of five schools in the Scripps College of Communication at Ohio University in Athens Ohio. The school was named one of the nation's top five programs in a survey conducted by Youngs, Walter & Co. , a Chicago-based management consulting firm.
The school's graduate program was ranked seventh in U. S. News and World Report's journalism education ranking. [2] Undergraduates select from six sequence options -- advertising management, broadcast news, magazine journalism, news writing & editing, online journalism and public relations.
College of Business
Ohio University's College of Business was ranked 62nd in the nation by Business Week. [3] The CoB offers nine different majors and a general business minor for students with non-business majors. Despite University measures to increase enrollment, the CoB prides itself on staying smaller than other business schools. All business classes are taught by professors, never graduate students.
The Ralph and Luci Schey Sales Centre is one of only about three dozen schools in the US offering a professional sales certificate[4]. This certificate is open to any OU student, including those with non-business majors.
The Accountancy school uses the Business Activity Model ("BAM") in its intermediate classes. Designed to mimic the experiences of an auditor, Accounting students often credit BAM with preparing them for internships. One of the authors of BAM, Connie Esmond-Kiger, was named Dean of the School of Accountancy in Fall 2007. She is also the adviser for OU's chapter of Beta Alpha Psi, the financial majors fraternity. OU's chapter of BAP has been achieved Superior status for several years and has won several awards at the regional and national level. [5]
The CoB's Student Equity Management Group, which was started in 2002, was afforded $1. 5 million from the University to invest. Unlike many other schools, OU's group is open to undergraduate students. The group was praised by University administrators when it was reported in Fall 2007 the group achieved a 28% return on its portfolio. [6]
There are 16 active students organizations in the CoB. In addition to the two discussed above, there are chapters of two national Business fraternities, a Christian group, and societies or fraternities for almost every major. [7] Copeland Hall boasts six computer labs and two study lounges with computers, as well as many conference rooms and small group rooms. Many business students strongly prefer to study and work in Copeland instead of the library.
The CoB requires students take five classes in the cluster format. In the cluster, students are teamed up and complete research projects. The students then receive a grade in all four of their classes on the project. This program is an opportunity for students of different majors to interact and is considered a good illustration of how situations are often structured in the business world. [8]
The College of Fine Arts and the Kennedy Museum of Art
The Ohio University College of Fine Arts aspires to educate artists and scholars to articulate and express themselves through intellectual examination, participatory training, and research practice. Members of Ohio University's world-class faculty are working artists, instructors, and researchers who both teach and practice their arts.

The College's approach to education is diverse, dynamic, and international providing an environment rich and deep with opportunities for expression.
The Kennedy Museum of Art, named to honor Edwin L. and Ruth E. Kennedy, is housed at the Ridges in historic Lin Hall. It contains noteworthy collections including significant southwest Native American textiles, jewelry, and a celebrated contemporary collection of prints. This exceptional institution offers a wide array of exhibitions, a line-up of educational offerings, tours, and more.
School of Recreation and Sports Sciences
Considered one of the top schools of its kind in the country, with its Graduate Programs often referred to as the best in the country, the School of Recreation and Sport Sciences offers an array of prominent, nationally recognized academic programs at the graduate and undergraduate levels. The Sport Management Program is one of approximately thirty such programs in the country to have won program approval by the Sport Management Program Review Council (SMPRC). Programs of study in the School emphasize an accommodating learning atmosphere that promotes high academic standards and a commitment to encouraging an active and healthy lifestyle. The School is dedicated to creating, improving, and propagating theoretical and practical information through its distinct programs.
Russ College of Engineering and Technology
This college is the home to the University's programs in the traditional fields of engineering at the undergraduate and graduate level. [9] It enrolls approximately 1,400 undergraduates and almost 300 graduate students. It is named in honor of Dr. Fritz J. Russ, an alumnus in electrical engineering and the founder of Systems Research Laboratories, a major bioengineering concern. [10]
The Russ' left the college that bears their name approximately $80 million in real estate and securities, though details of how the money will be spent — and how much money the college will actually receive — has yet to be determined. [11]
Honors Tutorial College
The Honors Tutorial College at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio is the only degree-granting tutorial program in the United States. The tutorial program is modeled after Oxford and Cambridge universities in England, and is centered on the tutorial, in which students meet individually with a professor to study material.
The program generally accepts around eighty students per year from an applicant pool of around two hundred and offers programs in twenty-seven disciplines, from journalism to astrophysics. Students benefit from their involvement with the college; they are the first to register for classes, can waive course prerequisites and general education requirements for graduation, can check out books from the university library for extended periods of time, have access to scholars' dorms, and develop good relationships with professors.
The college was officially founded in 1972, although an Honors College had existed previously since 1964.
